Vietnam has no regulations on criteria for goods to be labeled ‘made in Vietnam’, so consumers have no basis to distinguish ‘made in Vietnam’ and foreign-made products.

Regulations on country of origin labeling in Vietnam have raised public concern as the legal system does not regulate the kinds of import items that can bear “Made in Vietnam” labels.

Many Vietnam-made products, after being exported to other countries, have been re-imported to Vietnam and sold at prices much higher than the initial prices.
