Customs Regulations

Foreign currency can be imported without restrictions, but amounts exceeding $3,000 must be declared.

The following items can be imported duty-free:

• cigarettes up to 400 units, cigars up to 100 units or 500 gr. of tobacco; up to 2 liters of alcoholic beverages with a strength of up to 22 degrees or 1.5 liters of strong alcoholic beverages; tea, total weight up to 5 kg; coffee up to 3 kg; perfumes and eau de toilette in reasonable quantities and other goods whose total value does not exceed 5 million VND. 

What is prohibited to export from Vietnam:

• National currency. All dong must be exchanged before passing through customs control.
• Antiques and works of art. If you have purchased an antique souvenir or a nice figurine, keep the receipt and ask the seller for confirmation that your purchase is not of historical value.
• Jewelry. Obtain export documents for all jewelry purchased in Vietnam. And be sure to declare any jewelry you arrived with upon entry.
• Folk art items. When purchasing creations by local artisans, request an export certificate from the seller.

You can export alcohol from Vietnam in unlimited quantities. However, glass bottles must be packed in a polystyrene box, which can be purchased at the airport.

Good to know:

Officially, tipping is not customary in Vietnam, but in many restaurants it has already become common practice.

Local shopping has two pleasant features: a rich selection of purchases and the lowest prices in the region (if, of course, you remember to bargain). 

Tourists are required to comply with local laws, norms of behavior, and respect traditions, cultural and religious customs. Failure to comply with the laws may result in legal liability.
