Vietnam has been making significant strides as a viable manufacturing alternative to China in recent years. However, industry experts caution that the country’s rapid growth in this sector could potentially trigger import tariffs from the United States.

As global trade dynamics continue to shift, businesses are increasingly looking to diversify their supply chains and reduce reliance on China. Vietnam, with its competitive labour costs and improving infrastructure, has emerged as an attractive option for many companies. Nevertheless, the rapid expansion of Vietnam’s manufacturing sector has not gone unnoticed by the US government. There are concerns that if Vietnam’s growth in this area continues at its current pace, it may prompt the US to implement import tariffs in an effort to protect American industries.
