The Ministry of Industry and Trade has just issued consolidated document No. 47/VBHN-BCT dated June 4, 2026, detailing some provisions of the Law on Foreign Trade Management and Government Decree No. 69/2018/ND-CP

From July 1, 2026, high-risk products and goods will be required to undergo traceability before being circulated on the market. The new regulation requires businesses to proactively standardize data and connect systems to meet the implementation roadmap

Up to 42% of businesses can only accept a maximum increase in tax costs of around 40%; while 41% are willing to consider restructuring if the cost increase is below 20%

According to the Ministry of Industry and Trade, Viet Nam’s exports reached 215.66 billion USD in the first five months of 2026, up 19.5% year-on-year
