NAVIGATING TAX & CUSTOMS IN VIETNAM 2026 - KEY INSIGHTS FOR BUSINESS LEADERS

Vietnam 2026: Tariff Risks, Regulatory Tightening — and a 10% Growth Ambition. Are FDI Leaders Ready?
Global trade tensions are resurfacing. Potential tariff shifts under Donald Trump could reshape supply chains once again.
At the same time, Vietnam is pursuing an ambitious high-growth trajectory toward 2026 — creating significant upside for well-positioned foreign investors.
For FDI enterprises in Vietnam, 2026 will not simply be about growth. It will be about resilience, compliance discipline, and strategic positioning.
In collaboration with Deloitte/Dezan Shira & Associates/Kim&Chang Company, we are hosting an executive-level briefing designed specifically for foreign-invested enterprises.
This session is particularly relevant for:
- CEOs / General Directors of FIEs
- CFOs and Finance Controllers
- Regional HQ leaders overseeing Vietnam
- Tax & Compliance heads
- Export-driven manufacturers exposed to US/EU markets
What You Will Gain:
• Clear view of Vietnam’s 2026 macroeconomic outlook
• Insights into shifting global trade policies and tariff risks
• Key tax & customs regulatory updates impacting FDI
• Early warning on enforcement trends and compliance focus areas
• Practical preparation checklist for 2026
This is not a generic seminar. It is a focused strategic session for FDI leaders who want to anticipate change — not react to it.
