The total volume of imported CBU cars into Vietnam in March 2018 was estimated at 5,000 units.
Prices of Honda Vietnam’s 2,000 automobiles recently imported from Thailand have been announced to be thousand dollars lower than those of the previous shipments as the import tariff on automobiles has been reduced to zero per cent.
Due to insufficient information on the imported cars provided by customs departments, Director General of Vietnam Customs Nguyen Van Can has requested the functional bodies under Vietnam Customs and the local customs departments once a week to publicize the information such as price, quantity, type of automobiles imported into Vietnam since 2018.
From January 1st, 2018, the tax on imported cars will increase by thousands of dollars as the application of a new decree, hindering the entrance of used cars to Vietnam.
