Import duties on Vietnamese cassava, sweet potato and pumpkin ingredients
The standard duty a buyer pays on each product, against the rate for goods of Vietnamese origin, and how that compares with Thailand and China. In the EU, goods of Vietnamese origin pay no duty on any line shown here: the EU–Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA) brings the rate to zero, or the standard duty is zero already. Every line links to the official tariff so you can check it.

Into the EU: Vietnam against Thailand and China
Thailand and China have no free trade agreement with the EU, so their goods pay the standard duty, at a lower rate only within a limited yearly quota. Goods of Vietnamese origin pay 0% under the EVFTA on any volume.

Cassava pellets, for example: China pays 9.5 EUR/100 kg (95 EUR a tonne); Thailand pays 6% of the customs value within its quota and 9.5 EUR/100 kg beyond it. Goods of Vietnamese origin pay 0%.
A quota is a fixed volume per calendar year, first come, first served; when it is used up, the standard duty applies. The quota links show what remains. The Vietnamese rate needs valid proof of origin under the EVFTA.

Before you rely on a rate
- *United States: additional duties on goods of Vietnamese origin apply on top of the standard rate and change often, so they are not shown here. Check the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (opens in a new tab) and CBP guidance for the date of import.
- European Union: the 0% rate needs valid proof of Vietnamese origin under the EVFTA. Without it, the standard duty applies.
- The tariff lines are an indicative classification of each product. The importer and the customs authority confirm the classification.
