How much tobacco and alcohol (with what concentration) can you bring into Vietnam?

There are no specific regulations on the quantity of tobacco and alcohol when entering Vietnam. Vietnam Customs prohibits immigrants from bringing in flammable, explosive, corrosive, highly toxic, radioactive, odorous items, various pornographic books and periodicals, DVDs, unquarantined animals and plants, and weapons.

Vietnam Customs stipulates that if you bring more than 3,000 US dollars or more than 300 grams of gold, you must declare it when entering the country. Otherwise, the excess will be confiscated by Vietnam Customs when leaving the country. For domestic group visits, if the tour fee is carried by a designated person, it should be declared when entering the country, or it should be kept separately.

Otherwise, any amount exceeding US$3,000 when leaving the country will be confiscated by Vietnamese customs. Foreigners can carry 200 cigarettes, 50 cigars, 250 grams of tobacco and 1 liter of alcohol duty-free when leaving Vietnam.
