Why Vietnam Apparel Tariffs Matter
Tariffs on Vietnamese apparel directly impact your landed costs, often adding 10-30% to expenses. Rates vary by market due to trade agreements and customs policies:
- EU and Japan: Free trade agreements (EVFTA, CPTPP) offer 0-12% tariffs, ideal for cost savings.
- U.S.: Higher tariffs (currently 28.8%) reflect recent policy shifts, challenging brands like Nike (28% of apparel from Vietnam).
- Other Markets: Canada (0-10%), Australia (0-5%), and Singapore (0%) benefit from FTAs.
Understanding these differences unlocks savings and strengthens your supply chain. Our tracker delivers the data you need to succeed.

2025 Tariff Updates: Key Market Insights
Recent U.S. policy changes have reshaped the apparel import landscape. On April 2, 2025, a 46% tariff on Vietnamese goods was announced, effective April 9, driven by Vietnam’s $123.5 billion trade surplus with the U.S. in 2024. This posed risks for retailers like Walmart and brands reliant on Vietnam’s manufacturing.
U.S. Tariff Pause (April 9, 2025): The 46% rate was paused, reducing the U.S. tariff to 28.8% (10% blanket tariff plus 18.8% apparel-specific rate). This 90-day pause, prompted by market concerns and Vietnam’s non-retaliatory stance, offers a window for negotiations. Pham Fashion House is optimizing sourcing plans to leverage this relief.
Other markets remain stable:
- EU: 0-12% tariffs via EVISEFTA, supporting cost-effective sourcing.
- Japan: 0-10% via CPTPP, ideal for premium apparel.
- UK: 0-12% under GSP preferences.
- Canada: 0-10% via CPTPP; Australia: 0-5% via AANZFTA; Singapore: 0% via VSFTA.
Vietnam’s trade agreements and manufacturing strength make it a top sourcing destination. We help you navigate these rates to keep costs low.
