English Summary
Vietnam’s government issued a decree effective March 10, 2026, reducing preferential import tariffs to 0% on key fuel products and petrochemical feedstocks—including unleaded petrol, naphtha, reformate, diesel, aviation fuel, kerosene, xylene, condensate, p-xylene, and cyclic hydrocarbons. The measure expires April 30, 2026, unless extended. It targets supply chain stabilization amid Middle East energy disruptions affecting Strait of Hormuz shipping. Affected entities include foreign fuel importers, trading companies, refineries, and logistics providers operating in Vietnam. Businesses must verify HS codes for eligibility, adjust customs declarations accordingly, and monitor official extensions via the Ministry of Finance and General Department of Vietnam Customs. Failure to align with the expiry date may result in unexpected duty liabilities post-April 30. Proactive coordination with local customs brokers and updating procurement contracts to reflect the temporary tariff window is strongly advised.
