Vietnam-US Export Origin Standards and Rules 2025 Updated Edition

In recent years, with the deepening development of global economic integration, trade exchanges between countries have become increasingly frequent. Against this backdrop, the standards and rules for determining the origin of goods have become particularly important. This article will provide a detailed introduction to the origin standards and rules for Vietnam's exports to the United States and conduct an in-depth analysis.

I. Origin Determination Standards

1. Types of Goods The types of goods exported from Vietnam to the U.S. are diverse, including agricultural products, industrial goods, services, etc. The standards and rules for determining the origin vary for different types of goods.

2. Production Process For goods that complete most of their production process within Vietnam, determining their origin is relatively straightforward. However, for goods that only complete part of their production process in Vietnam, the standards may be stricter.

3. Raw Material Sources The source of raw materials is also one of the standards for determining the origin of goods exported from Vietnam to the U.S. If the main raw materials of a product come from abroad, the product may not meet the origin determination standards for Vietnam's exports to the U.S.

II. Origin Determination Rules

1. Review Procedures Goods exported by Vietnamese enterprises to the U.S. must be reviewed according to relevant U.S. laws and procedures to determine whether they meet the origin determination standards.

2. Document Requirements During the review process, relevant production records, inspection reports, trade contracts, and other documents must be provided to prove that the goods meet the origin determination standards.

3. Sampling Inspections For some goods that may be controversial, the U.S. may conduct sampling inspections to determine whether they meet the origin determination standards.

III. Interpretation of the Latest Version of the Rules

In recent years, with the continuous changes in international trade rules, Vietnam’s export origin standards and rules to the U.S. have been continuously adjusted and improved. The latest version of the rules places greater emphasis on the production process and quality control of goods. For some non-compliant goods, there may be certain trade restrictions.

The issue of Vietnam's export origin determination standards and rules to the U.S. is complex and sensitive. Vietnamese enterprises need to take it seriously and operate strictly in accordance with relevant laws and procedures. At the same time, both Vietnam and enterprises should closely monitor changes in international trade rules, timely adjust and improve relevant policies and standards to adapt to the ever-changing international market environment.

In future international trade, origin determination standards and rules will become increasingly important. Only by complying with relevant standards and rules can we better participate in international competition and achieve sustainable development.
