Can I send books to Vietnam?

Conditions apply

Yes, with conditions.

Personal books are fine. Publications banned from circulation in Vietnam are prohibited.

Before you ship to Vietnam

Tax-free limit: Express and postal shipments worth VND 1,000,000 (about $39) or less, or with import duty of VND 100,000 (about $4) or less, pay no import duty. Above that, duty is due on the whole shipment. VAT has applied to express imports from the first dong since February 18, 2025, when the old rule that waived both taxes up to VND 1,000,000 ended. Gifts from someone abroad to a person living in Vietnam are free of duty and VAT if worth VND 2,000,000 (about $77) or less, or if the total tax would be under VND 200,000 (about $8), up to 4 times a year.
Receiver ID: Personal identification number (số định danh cá nhân) from the citizen ID card, or passport number for foreigners needed. Have the receiver's ID number ready before you ship. Customs applies the gift allowance per receiver (4 times a year), and the relocation exemption needs a copy of the receiver's citizen ID card or residence papers, or a passport and work permit for foreigners. The courier may also ask for it on the customs declaration.
Transit: 4-7 business days from Europe or North America; 2-5 from elsewhere in Asia
