Are there any trade agreements that affect the export of Vietnamese pork?
The Vietnamese government encourages exports by reducing export tax on most goods to 0% (except for special goods such as minerals or forest products) including the export of pork. Thus, pork exported from Vietnam has a 0% export tax, but value-added tax and an import tax may still be applied for its respective import destinations. Below is the list of trade agreements and the agreed-upon import taxes.
