Hi buddy dunno and don't care about taxes on imported stuff this instance. All i know is, go web shopping here online and you uncover tax after tax.Taxes on imported goods are set by th viet gov we all know that.
Have compared costs of imported goods in other better developed countries. They taxes elsewhere all seemed to make more sense and are lower.
VN is 4th home country to me. So definitely there are pros and cons to make me wana live here, in that I'm saying general costs of living is cheap but you have to be on ur watch 360 degrees for the expected crap and stuffs. Amd Scams!!!!
Take care dear expats and good viet partners
