US imports: Vietnam purchases rise 3.79 percent in July

Vietnam’s imports from the United States reached US$1.67 billion in July, up 3.79 percent from June, according to Vietnam’s General Department of Customs.

Year-to-date imports stood at US$10.54 billion, with electronics leading inflows.

Computers, electrical products, and spare parts surged 67.79 percent to US$532.34 million, making up nearly 30 percent of total imports.

Other categories included cotton at US$139.91 million, though down 21.18 percent, and machinery at US$117.09 million, down 7.63 percent.

Plastics fell 13.16 percent to US$99.31 million, while wood imports dropped 9.00 percent to US$70.60 million.

Agricultural imports showed mixed results. Fruits and vegetables grew 14.09 percent to US$56.43 million, while animal fodders dropped 26.77 percent to US$52.63 million.

Soy beans edged up 2.11 percent to US$21.33 million. Wheat collapsed 84.63 percent to US$1.83 million, while dairy products declined 8.66 percent.

Pharmaceutical imports fell sharply by 60.87 percent to US$25.03 million, while motor vehicle parts more than doubled, albeit from a low base.

Petroleum products and paper imports also recorded strong growth, whereas tobacco materials and pastries collapsed from June levels.

The data highlights Vietnam’s reliance on the US for high-tech inputs like electronics, along with key commodities such as cotton, soya beans, and animal fodders.

Import volatility in agricultural and resource categories contrasts with strong growth in electronics, underscoring Vietnam’s dependence on US technology and raw materials for manufacturing supply chains.
