Vietnam's New Regulations on Electronic Component Imports
Vietnam's New Import Rules for Electronic Components: Local Value-Added Ratio and Process Traceability Requirements Take Effect
Case Details
Vietnam's Ministry of Industry and Trade has issued detailed implementing rules for the import of electronic components, requiring certificates of origin to include process-level value-added records to verify whether the local value-added ratio meets the required threshold.
Products that fail to meet the local value-added ratio will no longer qualify for preferential tariff rates under trade agreements and must be declared at standard rates, with a tariff difference typically ranging from 3—4 percentage points.
Companies should promptly review the value-added composition across SMT mounting, assembly, and testing stages, and retain original records of labor hours, materials, and energy consumption for audit readiness.
