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. Some of the trade agreements that can affect the export of Vietnamese pork include Economic Partnership Agreements, and Free Trade Agreements such as ASEAN-China FTA, ASEAN-Korea FTA, ASEAN-India FTA, ASEAN-Australia-New Zealand FTA, Vietnam-Chile FTA, Vietnam-Korea FTA, Vietnam-EAEU FTA, and ASEAN Trade in Goods Agreement.

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.
