Can you bring tobacco or cigarettes to Vietnam?

Short answer
Allowed, within limits

  • Tobacco

    allowed, within limits

    Duty-free personal allowance for tobacco products; only one category (not combined) applies per traveler.

    Allowances cannot be combined or pooled among travelers. Vaping devices, e-cigarettes and heated-tobacco products are separately restricted/prohibited from import under Vietnam's e-cigarette ban (effective 1 January 2025); check current e-cigarette rules separately before packing vape devices.

    Also covers: tobacco, cigarettes, cigars, shredded tobacco
