Vietnamese footwear exports rose 21.2 per cent against the same period
last year to more than US$5.85 billion for the first six months of the
year, the General Department of Customs reported.
Vietnamese footwear exports will enjoy zero tariff once the ASEAN
Economic Community (AEC) is established in late 2015, allowing producers
to expand their markets and access new materials.
Viet Nam continued to be the second largest exporter of footwear to
Spain in 2013, shipping 27.7 million pairs and earning 268.5 million
euros, or US$371 million.
