Sourcing tip

Hong Kong trading companies can invoice goods made in Vietnam. Make sure third-party invoicing is shown correctly on the certificate of origin so the final buyer keeps its preference.

Status as of October 2026, based on the WTO Center of VCCI and official partner announcements. Tariff commitments and origin rules vary by product: check the legal text or ask us before you rely on a preferential rate.
