The United States and Vietnam have reached a preliminary trade agreement that outlines new tariff structures and market access commitments. Announced by former President Donald Trump on Wednesday via Truth Social, the deal arrives just days before the expiration of a 90-day pause on country-specific reciprocal duties, set to conclude on July 9.
Under the new framework, the U.S. will apply a 20% tariff on all imports from Vietnam. In return, the U.S. is expected to receive unrestricted market access in Vietnam, potentially allowing American goods to enter Vietnamese markets tariff-free, though full details have not yet been disclosed.
Additionally, the agreement introduces a 40% tariff on transshipped goods, aimed at addressing the practice of rerouting products through Vietnam to avoid duties—an issue that has drawn increasing scrutiny from U.S. trade officials.
The announcement follows similar deals the U.S. recently reached with the United Kingdom and China, as the country moves to revise long standing tariff arrangements. Until now, Vietnamese imports faced tariffs as high as 46% under previous policies.
According to the U.S. International Trade Commission, Vietnam represented nearly 3% of total U.S. trade in 2024, with the Southeast Asian nation exporting approximately $137 billion in goods to the U.S. while importing just $13 billion in return.
From a logistics and trade facilitation perspective, this agreement represents a significant shift in U.S.-Vietnam trade relations, with implications for shippers, importers, and exporters on both sides. While the 20% tariff may raise costs for U.S. buyers sourcing from Vietnam, the potential for zero-tariff access for U.S. goods into Vietnam opens new growth opportunities, particularly in sectors such as agriculture, high-tech, and pharmaceuticals.
However, clarity is still needed on the enforcement and classification of transshipped goods subject to the 40% tariff. Stakeholders should closely monitor updates from U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the Vietnamese Ministry of Industry and Trade to prepare for compliance and strategic sourcing adjustments.
