Full Details
Posting a watch to Vietnam is permitted with no licensing requirement; the compliance risk is valuation. General Department of Vietnam Customs (GDVC) assesses charges on the declared value from the CN22/CN23 or courier entry: import VAT/GST at 10% applies above the exemption threshold, plus duty on above-threshold consignments. Import goods valued at or below VND 1,000,000 (approx. USD $43) are generally exempt from import duty if they are non-commercial gifts. VAT (10%) may still apply. Vietnam has been working to tighten low-value e-commerce import rules. Verify current rules with GDVC. High-value watches should travel by insured courier with formal customs entry — postal channels cap indemnity far below luxury-watch values, and undervaluation to dodge charges voids insurance and invites seizure.
Use an insured courier service with formal entry for anything valuable, declare the true price, and keep the invoice — undervaluing a shipped watch is the classic seizure-plus-penalty case.
