Effective Rate

The United States imports substantial quantities of animal or vegetable fats and oils from Vietnam, with approximately $127B in total bilateral trade.

As of mid-2026, animal or vegetable fats and oils imports from Vietnam face a base tariff rate of 10% under the Section 301 forced-labor tariff (a two-tier 10%/12.5% duty), which replaced the flat 10% Section 122 rate when it expired July 24, 2026. Section 122 had itself replaced the IEEPA reciprocal tariff following the Supreme Court's 6-3 ruling in Learning Resources v. Trump (with V.O.S. Selections) on February 20, 2026.

Under the Trade Act of 1974, Section 122 tariffs are limited to 150 days, so the flat 10% Section 122 rate expired on July 24, 2026. It was replaced the same day by USTR's Section 301 forced-labor tariff, and Vietnam's current 10% base surcharge is that two-tier (10%/12.5%) rate.

Animal or Vegetable Fats and Oils (HTS Chapter 15) carry an average MFN duty rate of 4% in addition to the base forced-labor tariff. No additional Section 232 or Section 301 surcharges apply to most products in this category from Vietnam.

Key products in HTS Chapter 15 imported from Vietnam include Olive oil, Palm oil, Soybean oil, Sunflower oil, Coconut oil, and Lard and tallow.
