AsemconnectVietnam - According to data from the Vietnam Customs Authority, Vietnam’s imports from the EU reached USD1.472 billion in September 2025, up 1.24% month-on-month and 4.87% year-on-year. Cumulatively over nine months, total imports from the EU amounted to USD12.856 billion, an increase of 4.9% compared with the same period in 2024. This reflects stable import demand supporting domestic production and consumption, while reaffirming the EU as an important supplier of high-quality technology, machinery, equipment, and raw materials.
Import of EU’s computer, electronic products, and components to Vietnam reached USD289.45 million, down 10.18% from the previous month and 2.03% year-on-year. For the nine-month period, the value reached USD2.595 billion, accounting for 20.18% of total imports from the EU, continuing to be a key high-tech product group.
Machinery, equipment, tools, and spare parts reached USD298.28 million in September, up 3.39% from August. Cumulatively, this group reached USD2.446 billion, accounting for 19.02%, showing stable industrial machinery demand and its continued importance to domestic production.
