What tariffs apply to Vietnam imports into the US?
Vietnam goods are subject to standard MFN duty rates (PNTR granted 2007). Section 232 tariffs apply to steel and aluminum. AD/CVD orders cover solar cells, steel pipe, shrimp, catfish, tires, and lumber. A 46% IEEPA tariff was announced but is currently paused at 10% Section 122 baseline.
Does Vietnam face Section 301 tariffs?
No. Section 301 tariffs apply exclusively to goods of Chinese origin. Vietnamese-origin goods are not subject to Section 301. However, goods of Chinese origin shipped through Vietnam without substantial transformation retain Chinese origin and remain subject to Section 301.
What AD/CVD orders affect Vietnam imports?
Vietnam faces active AD/CVD orders on solar cells and modules, corrosion-resistant steel, steel pipe, shrimp, catfish and basa fillets, passenger and light truck tires, nails, and wood cabinets. Check the ITA AD/CVD database by HTS code before importing.
What is the transshipment risk for Vietnam imports?
CBP actively investigates Chinese-origin goods routed through Vietnam to avoid Section 301 tariffs and AD/CVD orders. If a product undergoes only minor processing in Vietnam (cutting, labeling, repacking), it retains Chinese origin. Importers must document substantial transformation when claiming Vietnamese origin. Penalties under 19 USC §1592 can reach 4x the unpaid duties.
Is there a free trade agreement between the US and Vietnam?
No. The US withdrew from TPP in 2017. No bilateral US-Vietnam FTA exists. Vietnam is part of CPTPP and RCEP, but the US is not a member. Vietnamese goods enter the US at MFN rates.
How do I calculate import duties from Vietnam to the US?
Enter the HTS code, product value, and select Vietnam as the country of origin. The calculator applies the current MFN rate plus any AD/CVD rate for covered products and any applicable Section 232 surcharge.
Can Vietnam import duties change significantly?
Yes. The IEEPA 46% tariff is currently paused but could be reinstated. AD/CVD rates are reviewed annually and can increase or decrease. New AD/CVD petitions can open new orders on additional Vietnamese product categories.

Vietnam has become a major U.S. sourcing hub, but the supply chain shift from China has created significant trade compliance risks that importers must manage carefully.
Accurate origin documentation and tariff calculation are critical before shipping from Vietnam.
For active duty orders, consult the ITA AD/CVD database. Verify current rates and procedures at CBP.gov and check USTR’s Vietnam trade page for policy updates before finalizing Vietnam shipments.
Frequently asked questions
What costs does this calculator include?
The calculator covers the base MFN duty rate (HTS-based), Section 232 surcharges, active AD/CVD rates, IEEPA tariffs, and potential Section 301 exposure for goods with substantial Chinese-origin content. Customs value is calculated on a CIF basis. MPF and HMF apply at entry but are not included in the estimate.
Is Vietnam directly subject to Section 301 tariffs?
Not directly. Section 301 targets Chinese-origin goods. However, goods assembled in Vietnam using substantial Chinese-origin inputs may retain Chinese origin under CBP substantial transformation rules, making them subject to Section 301. CBP actively investigates transshipment through Vietnam.
What replaced IEEPA tariffs on Vietnam imports?
The Supreme Court struck down IEEPA-based tariffs on Feb 20, 2026, in a 6-3 ruling. Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 now provides the authority for emergency global tariffs. CBP is currently collecting at 10% on Vietnam imports under Section 122. Note that goods with Chinese-origin components may face additional Section 301 scrutiny if manufactured or transshipped through Vietnam. Verify at CBP.gov.
What AD/CVD orders affect Vietnam imports?
Active orders on Vietnamese goods include: shrimp, catfish and basa, solar cells and panels, steel wire rod, cold-rolled steel, mattresses, wooden cabinets, and rubber bands. Rates vary by exporter and annual review. Verify the current rate by HTS code in the ITA AD/CVD database.
Why is country-of-origin scrutiny high for Vietnam imports?
CBP actively investigates transshipment — goods manufactured in China and re-labeled or minimally processed in Vietnam. Importers must document substantial transformation with bills of materials, production records, and supplier certifications. Insufficient documentation can result in Section 301 liability being applied retroactively.
How do I find my HTS code for this calculator?
Your HTS code is the 10-digit number that determines your base duty rate and tariff eligibility for goods imported from Vietnam. Use the USITC HTS database to search by product description. The first 6 digits follow the international Harmonized System; digits 7-10 are US-specific. Enter the 10-digit code in Captain’s calculator to get MFN rates, Section 232 exposure, and active AD/CVD orders for Vietnam goods.
What is Section 122 and how does it affect this calculator?
Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 authorizes the President to impose an emergency global tariff of up to 15% on imports for up to 150 days. After the Supreme Court struck down IEEPA tariffs on Feb 20, 2026, Section 122 became the operative authority for the 10% global emergency rate. CBP is currently collecting at 10% on most Vietnam goods under Section 122. Captain includes this rate in all landed cost calculations for Vietnam imports.
