Vietnam's National Assembly approved amendments to the customs law to strengthen enforcement against counterfeit and IP-infringing goods, expanding customs powers to cover goods in transit and e-commerce shipments, effective March 2027.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Vietnam just widened customs authority over transit and e-commerce goods, opening a tougher compliance bar for traders and platform operators. You in cross-border trade or e-commerce now face more inspections and data demands starting March 2027.
