U.S. businesses sourcing goods from Vietnam can now breathe a sigh of relief.

After months of uncertainty and high duties, the U.S. government has officially reduced import tariffs on select Vietnamese products from 46% down to 20%. This decision, announced on July 14, 2025, brings fresh optimism to importers and brands relying on Vietnam’s manufacturing capabilities—especially in the bag, backpack, and textile sectors.

🇺🇸 What Does This Mean for You?

If you’re a U.S.-based brand, retailer, or wholesaler, this is a major win. Here’s why:

• ✅ Lower landed costs mean higher profit margins

• ✅ Vietnam remains a reliable sourcing hub, now more cost-competitive than before

• ✅ Simplified negotiations with manufacturers like UMO due to tariff clarity

This updated rate still supports U.S. trade policy goals, but significantly eases the financial pressure previously caused by the 46% duty on many Vietnamese goods.

👜 Which Products Are Affected?

The 20% import tariff now applies to multiple product categories, including:

• Bags, backpacks, and travel gear

• Apparel and textiles

• Furniture

• Some electronics and components

For businesses sourcing custom-made promotional bags, corporate backpacks, or private-label fashion items, this opens the door to more affordable, scalable importing.
