Frequently Asked Questions
What port fees apply when importing from Vietnam? +
Major Vietnamese ports include Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon / SGN) and Hai Phong (HPH). Port handling charges in Vietnam typically range from $50–$150 per container depending on port, cargo type, and shipping line. Combined with ocean freight to US West Coast ($1,200–$2,500 per 20ft container in 2026) and East Coast ($2,500–$4,500 per 20ft container), these fees form a significant portion of the total landed cost. Additional charges include documentation fees ($25–$75), container handling at destination ($100–$250 per container at US ports), and drayage to final destination.
Does Section 301 apply to imports from Vietnam? +
No. Section 301 tariffs apply specifically to goods of Chinese origin and are not triggered by Vietnamese origin. As of 2026, there are no Section 301 tariffs on imports from Vietnam. This is a key sourcing advantage for Vietnam vs. China, where most manufactured goods face 25% Section 301 (List 3). However, CBP may reclassify goods as Chinese-origin if the manufacturing in Vietnam does not constitute 'substantial transformation' — the last major manufacturing step must occur in Vietnam, not just minor assembly or finishing.
What is included in a Vietnam landed cost calculation? +
Landed cost for Vietnam imports includes: (1) Product cost / FOB price from Vietnamese supplier; (2) Ocean freight from SGN or HPH to US port — typically $1,200–$2,500 to West Coast (LA/LB), $2,500–$4,500 to East Coast (NY/NJ, Savannah) per 20ft container; (3) Marine insurance (0.1–0.5% of cargo value); (4) Customs duties — Vietnam MFN base rate by HTS chapter (0–10% for most manufactured goods); (5) Section 122 global surcharge (15% active through approximately July 24, 2026); (6) Merchandise Processing Fee (MPF) — 0.3464% of customs value, min $32.71, max $634.62 per shipment; (7) Harbor Maintenance Fee (HMF) — 0.125% of the cargo value for ocean shipments; (8) Port handling and drayage at US destination.
How can I reduce Vietnam import costs? +
Three key strategies for reducing Vietnam import costs: (1) Negotiate ocean freight contracts — spot rates fluctuate significantly; use Freightos Baltic Index as a benchmark. (2) Qualify for USMCA or other FTA preferential rates if goods contain sufficient US or Mexican content — Vietnam itself has limited FTA coverage with the US but Trans-Pacific CPTPP membership may offer some benefit for certain goods. (3) Verify origin documentation is complete — CF-28 requests from CBP on origin issues can delay shipments by 4–8 weeks and add significant administrative cost. Also consider the Section 122 expiration (approximately July 24, 2026) as a timing factor — imports after that date will save 15% on duty costs.
