Importing to the Vietnam: is it actually cheaper?
We haven't priced individual products for Vietnam yet — but the checker works on any Vietnam product link right now: paste one and we read its price, match our US price of record, and do the landed-cost math below. Here's how importing to Vietnam works.
How importing to the Vietnam works
- Import VAT
- 10% on the US price + shipping (CIF), above a 0 ₫ de-minimis threshold.
- Duty
- 0% — Vietnam abolished its low-value import exemption on 18 Feb 2025 — 10% VAT now applies from the first dong. Core electronics (phones, laptops, tablets, cameras) are 0% MFN under the ITA; audio accessories run ~10%. Imported phones must have their IMEI registered to connect locally.
- Forwarding
- comGateway, from the US — about 6-10 days.
- FX
- ₫25868/USD mid-market + 3% card spread, as of 2026-10-09.
Every verdict is computed only from these figures — it's never for sale, and we're not a shipping company, so we don't earn more when you import.
