China Tariffs Are Costing You
25%+ Per Shipment.
Section 301 tariffs add 25% or more to every part you import from China. Vietnam-made parts face only standard MFN duty rates (typically 2–6% for machined parts and castings) — no Section 301 surcharges, no trade war risk, and 40–60% lower base costs.

The Real Cost of China Tariffs
Since 2018, Section 301 tariffs have added 7.5–25% to Chinese manufactured goods. For most custom parts (HTSUS Chapters 73, 76, 84, 85), the rate is 25%. Here's what that looks like on real orders.
CNC Aluminum Bracket (100 pcs)
Die Cast Housing (1,000 pcs)
Sheet Metal Enclosure (500 pcs)
Injection Molded Parts (10K pcs)
Estimates based on actual 2026 quotes. Shipping costs similar for both origins (sea freight from Asia).
Why Companies Are Moving to Vietnam
No Section 301 Surcharges
Vietnam is exempt from US Section 301 tariffs. Parts enter under standard MFN duty rates — no 25%+ punitive surcharges like China.
40–60% Lower Base Cost
Even before tariffs, Vietnam factory rates are 30–50% lower than China for comparable quality and equipment.
Trade Agreement Coverage
Vietnam is party to CPTPP, EVFTA, and RCEP — providing preferential access to markets beyond the US.
Modern Factory Base
Samsung, Intel, Apple, and LG have invested billions in Vietnam manufacturing. The supply chain ecosystem is mature and growing.
IP Protection Improving
Vietnam's 2023 IP law reforms and CPTPP commitments have significantly strengthened intellectual property enforcement.
Similar Logistics
Ho Chi Minh City to US West Coast: 14–18 days. Shanghai: 12–16 days. The difference is negligible for most production schedules.
