The EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA) eliminates up to 99% of tariffs between Vietnam and the EU, making Vietnam one of the most cost-effective sourcing origins for European importers. Total trade between the two reached €67 billion in 2024, with the EU importing €54.8 billion worth of Vietnamese goods, primarily electronics, footwear, and textiles.

This guide covers the EVFTA's tariff structure, required documentation, shipping costs, VAT rates for every EU member state, and how to qualify for preferential duty rates when importing Vietnamese goods into Europe.
