Vietnam’s FTA network
Vietnam is one of the most FTA-connected economies in Asia. Each agreement has its own certificate of origin (C/O) form and rules of origin, so the right choice depends on the product and the destination. Certificate of Origin (C/O) in Vietnam: Forms, Rules of Origin and Filing →

What is a free trade agreement (FTA)?
An FTA is a treaty under which the parties eliminate or reduce import duties and other barriers on goods that meet its rules of origin. Many modern FTAs also cover services, investment, e-commerce, government procurement and sustainability. Unlike a customs union, each FTA party keeps its own tariffs towards non-members.
How many FTAs does Vietnam have?
Our database lists 16 FTAs in force for Vietnam, 1 signed but not yet in force and 2 under negotiation (data as of Oct 2026). They include ASEAN agreements (ATIGA and the ASEAN+1 FTAs), RCEP, CPTPP, EVFTA, UKVFTA and bilateral FTAs with Japan, Korea, Chile, the Eurasian Economic Union and Israel.
What is the difference between bilateral and multilateral or regional FTAs?
A bilateral FTA has two parties — two countries, or a bloc such as the EU and one country. Plurilateral and regional FTAs such as RCEP, CPTPP or AfCFTA have many parties and usually allow cumulation, so inputs from several members can count towards origin.
How do I claim the preferential tariff?
The goods must satisfy the agreement’s rules of origin, normally be shipped directly or under the transit conditions allowed, and be supported by a valid proof of origin — a C/O issued by an authorised body or an origin declaration where the agreement allows self-certification. The importer then claims the preference in the customs declaration.
What if more than one FTA covers the same route?
It is common: for example Vietnam–Japan trade can use VJEPA, AJCEP, CPTPP or RCEP. Compare the preferential rate for your HS code, the rule of origin you can actually meet and the documentation each requires, and use the most favourable one.
What is the difference between an FTA and a customs union?
In a customs union, such as the EU, Mercosur or the Eurasian Economic Union, members also apply a common external tariff to non-members and negotiate trade agreements as a bloc. That is why an EU FTA covers all 27 member states.
Shipping under an FTA?
We check the C/O form, prepare documents and route your cargo so it keeps its preferential origin.
