AHTN Codes - Vietnam Export Classification

ASEAN Harmonized Tariff Nomenclature (AHTN) codes for Vietnam's top export categories. Browse 374 codes across 5 chapters covering electronics, footwear, furniture, and textiles.

Understanding AHTN Codes

AHTN codes are the ASEAN-specific extension of the international HS (Harmonized System) codes. While HS codes are standardized globally to 6 digits, AHTN codes extend to 8 digits for more detailed classification within ASEAN member states.
