Hi, I'm wondering what the import tax fee is if I buy a 500usd new laptop from US and get it sent to Vietnam? Thanks
All I can see is tax on weight so 1kg is 12$, but that's it.
The laptop in question is a Samsung chrome book plus which they don't sell here.

Electronis goods incur a high tax rate. I doubt it will be 12 usd. Why not get someone to bring it into Viet Nam for you. Take it out of the box and bring it in as carry-on luggage. There is a Facebook site for doing just that.

Thanks, I have been searching for such a Group. No friends personally out there. Bit of a trust issue no? Might give it a whirl, thanks again.
