Vietnam has emerged as one of Southeast Asia's fastest-growing export economies, with major strengths in electronics, apparel, footwear, machinery, and seafood. The country has an extensive network of free trade agreements including CPTPP, EVFTA, RCEP, and ASEAN-based agreements, making it a strategically important sourcing and manufacturing destination. Trade professionals should pay close attention to Vietnam's Rules of Origin requirements, which are critical for accessing preferential duty rates under its numerous FTAs.

Vietnam's leading exports include electronics and electrical equipment (particularly smartphones and components), textiles and apparel, footwear, machinery, and seafood, with the US, China, and EU as primary destinations.
Vietnam participates in CPTPP, the EU-Vietnam FTA (EVFTA), RCEP, ASEAN Free Trade Area (AFTA), and bilateral FTAs with Japan, South Korea, Chile, and the Eurasian Economic Union, among others.
Each FTA has specific Rules of Origin; for example, EVFTA requires most textile and apparel products to meet a 'double transformation' rule, meaning fabric must be woven and cut-and-sewn in Vietnam to qualify for EU preferential rates.
