Hey all, I am looking at sending some gifts to a friend in Vietnam for her birthday in October. I have been trying to find out what is permissable to be sent nto Vietnam. I know the obvious things are not...like weapons, drugs and alcohol.....i was wondering if perfume, food, candy or medicine is prohibited? On that note...what would anyone suggest as a gift for a 27 yr old female in Vietnam? What is something that is really hard to bet in Vietnam? It is for jer 28th birthday. Thank you vr any and all suggestions.... Don

@Barber368 greatest concern is the goods getting past the airport, so many oppertunists

@Tran Hung Dao Great response. Been married to a Vietnamese lady since January in Las Vegas, of all places! She doesn't like perfume, flowers are a waste of money she says to me... Something personal from your country, preferably MADE IN YOUR COUNTRY and not VN or CN. Yes, VN Customs tax everything inbound so be prepared to send her some money to pay the tax so she can take possession.
