However, your vehicle cannot be more than five years old at the time of import. Only left-hand driving is allowed in Vietnam.
You can only import the vehicle if you are the original owner of the vehicle, no used vehicles are allowed. If you are a diplomat from another country, you will not be required to pay import duties.

Tariff and taxes.
Shipping your vehicle can be expensive so you will need to know how much your importing will cost you. There are several factors to take into consideration when determining the total you will pay; the size of your vehicle, the weight of your vehicle, the age, the make, and the model. The method of shipping will also need to be taken into consideration as varied ways are priced differently. The common methods of shipping include the Roll On/ Roll Off method and the Container shipping method.
Roll On/ Roll Off (RORO) is the most affordable way to ship a vehicle. Your vehicle will need to be empty with the exception of the spare keys, a car jack, and the floor mats. You will need to empty out the air conditioning gasses and there can only be a quarter of a tank of gas. The vehicle will also need to be steam cleaned before it can board the ship in order to avoid delays.
Container shipping is another option that will give you the option of choosing the twenty-foot or forty - foot container that you can fill, close, and seal. You can place your vehicle in the container along with the household goods you plan to ship over with you.
