13/10/2025

Vietnam’s footwear exports to the United States fell 27% in September to $611 million, the sharpest decline among all sectors following the introduction of new US tariffs, according to data from Vietnam Customs released on Monday and reported by Reuters.

Textile exports dropped 20% over the same period.

Despite these sectoral setbacks, Vietnam’s total exports to the United States slipped only 1.5% to $13.7 billion in September, supported by stronger sales of coffee and machinery.
