AsemconnectVietnam - According to statistics from the Customs Department, the export turnover of Vietnamese goods to the New Zealand market in August of 2025 reached 60.9 million USD, down by 5.7% compared to the previous month, and in the first 8 months of 2025, it reached 461.7 million USD, down 0.2% compared to the same period last year.

The leading commodity group in export turnover in the first 8 months of 2025 was telephones of all kinds and components reached 120.3 million USD, down by 12.7%, accounting for 26% of the proportion; followed by computers, electronic products and components reached 54.4 million USD, up by 19.6%, accounting for 11.7% of the proportion; followed by textiles and garments, reaching 37.1 million USD, up by 0.2%, accounting for 8% of the proportion.
In the first 8 months of 2025, some items had increased export turnover compared to the same period last year, such as wood and wood products increased by 26.3%; cashew nuts increased by 8.1%; furniture products made from non-wood materials increased by 10.1%.
Vietnam and New Zealand both participate in multilateral FTAs such as the ASEAN - Australia - New Zealand Free Trade Agreement (AANZFTA), the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) and the Regional Economic Partnership Agreement (RCEP), which makes tariff and non-tariff barriers increasingly low or eliminated. This is a great advantage to help Vietnamese goods increase their competitiveness with goods from countries that do not have FTAs with New Zealand. New Zealand's policy of seeking other supply partners and markets other than the EU and China also contributes to opening up opportunities for Vietnam in the field of import and export.
To exploit the potential and favorable conditions of trade relations, Vietnamese enterprises need to proactively learn and carefully study the free trade agreements of which Vietnam and New Zealand are members (AANZFTA, CPTPP, RCEP) in order to exploit and effectively utilize tax incentives and goods origin.
