Import into EU

  • VAT: the destination member state's standard rate is shown (EC TEDB, refreshed monthly). Reduced rates are listed only as 'a reduced rate may apply (category)': TEDB maps them to CN codes in part, and whether one applies depends on the product and national law. Excise is not loaded.
  • Origin-specific measures are loaded for VN, CN and US origin only; measure exclusions and conditions (certificates, entry prices) are shown as text or not at all.
  • Anti-dumping and countervailing duties are flags: the rate depends on the producer (TARIC additional code).
  • Tariff quotas are flags: the in-quota rate applies only while the quota is open.
  • EUDR and CBAM are flags (COMPLIANCE), not duties. An 'ex' code covers only part of the line: check the product against the regulation. Other EU product rules (SPS, REACH, the forced-labour ban) are not loaded.

Export from VN

  • Viet Nam's export tariff schedule (as_of 2026-07-23) lists no export duty for this line.
