Former President Trump recently announced a new trade deal imposing a 20% tariff on all Vietnamese imports and a 40% levy on goods transshipped through Vietnam—aimed at curbing China’s indirect trade routes. While this move safeguards U.S. exporters and retaliates against indirect imports, it also escalates costs for brands relying on Vietnamese manufacturing.
🔍 What the Tariff Means for Vape Brands
- Rising Costs & Disruption Risk: A 20% import duty on Vietnamese vape products—and 40% on third-country goods routed via Vietnam—jeopardizes pricing stability and supply reliability for U.S. brands .
- Potential Supply Chain Shift: Brands sourcing from Vietnam may be forced to re-evaluate their production partners to maintain affordability and legality in the U.S. market.
