HA NOI (Biz Hub) — More than 3,200 Japanese products will be exempted from paying any import tax in Viet Nam from April 1, according to a new Finance Ministry circular.

The exempted products include plastic materials, chemicals, machinery, tools, spare parts, computers, electronic products and components, all kinds of yarn, textile materials, leather shoes and pharmaceutical products.
