Start with what is already known. We separate the country route, the goods and the companies, then show what is established, what remains unknown and the next safe action.
Germany to Vietnam is a third-country movement. Our data does not cover the Vietnam sanctions regime, so the answer shows the gap instead of assuming ordinary treatment.
Can a buyer in Vietnam import from Germany?
TR-VN-DE-89B2EEBuyer in Vietnam → Supplier in Germany · Goods not specifiedThird-country import into Vietnam
Germany to Vietnam crosses a customs border. A customs declaration is filed on entry. Vietnam restricts the use of foreign currency on its territory under Circular 32/2013/TT-NHNN (Circular 32/2013/TT-NHNN, applies from 2014-02-10).
Vietnam outside our sanctions register's reviewed coverage
Our country-level register holds no programme for Vietnam, but it lists only measures we have reviewed and is not exhaustive: silence here is a gap in our coverage, not a finding that no measure exists. EU binds this lane, so their measures on Vietnam have to be checked at the authority before anyone relies on this. EU binds the supplier itself: a seller established in Germany follows its own export-control and sanctions rules whatever the currency.
Check the Vietnam country measures at each binding authority (EU) · Screen the supplier, its owners, the consignee and the end user
EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA) covers this pair
The agreement is on record (in force since 2020-08). The preferential rate itself is a product question: it needs the exact HS code, the product schedule and proof of Germany origin. EU goods get the EVFTA tariff preference in Vietnam on a statement on origin made out by a registered exporter, or by any exporter for consignments up to EUR 6 000; EUR.1 certificates are not issued (Notice 2020/C 196/06, applies from 2020-08-01). Vietnam's rules of origin for EVFTA trade are set by Circular 14/2026/TT-BCT from 10 May 2026, replacing Circular 11/2020/TT-BCT (Circular 14/2026/TT-BCT, applies from 2026-05-10). Vietnam's EVFTA preferential import tariff schedule for 2022 to 2027 is set by Decree 116/2022/ND-CP (Decree 116/2022/ND-CP, applies from 2022-12-30).
Add the exact HS code · Obtain acceptable proof of origin from the supplier
Import VAT 10% in Vietnam
Vietnam charges import VAT of 10% on goods plus freight plus duty. Duty depends on the HS code and is not stated here. From 1 February 2026 the Vietnamese import declaration identifies the importer by its tax code (Circular 121/2025/TT-BTC, applies from 2026-02-01). Vietnam applies VAT at 8% instead of 10% from 1 July 2025 to 31 December 2026, except excisable goods other than petrol, metal products, mining products other than coal and some services (Resolution 204/2025/QH15, applies from 2025-07-01 to 2026-12-31).
