Figures are in US dollars unless marked otherwise. Each one is a return the market filed, a total of twelve monthly figures, or an estimate the publishing agency worked out — and the trend marks which of the three you are reading.

473BThe line breaks where the periods either side of it come from different publishers. No figure at a break has been adjusted — each is what this series holds for its own period — but the step across one cannot be read as trade alone: a change of publisher can move a figure on its own, and nothing on this chart separates the two.

Who buys it, and who sells it
Pick a product category and a direction, and the markets that reported it are ranked by what they filed in the later year. Only the markets that filed both years are counted, on either side of the comparison — the count is stated under the controls, and the total is a sum of those markets rather than a figure for world trade, which nobody files.

Who are Vietnam's biggest export markets?
Vietnam reported US$403.2B of exports in 2024. Its ten largest partner markets:
| # | Partner | 2024 (US$B) | Share |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | USA | 119.3 | 29.6% |
| 2 | China | 60.8 | 15.1% |
| 3 | South Korea | 25.5 | 6.3% |
| 4 | Japan | 24.6 | 6.1% |
| 5 | Netherlands | 12.9 | 3.2% |
| 6 | Hong Kong SAR | 12.3 | 3.1% |
| 7 | India | 9.1 | 2.2% |
| 8 | Germany | 7.9 | 2.0% |
| 9 | Thailand | 7.6 | 1.9% |
| 10 | United Kingdom | 7.5 | 1.9% |
Shares are of Vietnam's own reported 2024 exports (US$403.2B), so they do not sum to 100% — the rest is spread across every remaining partner.

Coverage
Every market by the year. A shortlist by the month.
Markets on every continent are in the set, and every one of them is reported annually — most for the years named below, a shortlist of them for years before that. ASEAN's ten are carried month by month as well, along with China, Hong Kong, the United States and South Africa, each from its own first month rather than from a date they share: switch a market to Monthly to read the window it holds. The same boundary holds for both: every ranked list on this page opens its first ten rows to read, annual or monthly alike; an account opens twenty, and approval by the Hong Kong Shippers' Council opens the whole list.

Product-level detail is more current for some markets than others, and it reaches only as far as the market's own filing: where that stops earlier than the world totals do, the explorer says so and names the years it does cover. Every figure on this page is labelled with the period it belongs to, so a market that has simply not filed yet never reads as one that stopped trading.
How to read this
The questions these figures raise
Where the numbers come from, what is inferred from them, and what is left out on purpose.
- Where do these figures come from?
- From the trade statistics that governments and international agencies publish, which they compile from customs declarations. What sits on this page is the macro layer of those releases — market, partner market, product category, period — pulled out and consolidated into a single set: the agencies behind it file on their own calendars, revise on their own schedules and code goods against their own edition of the tariff nomenclature, so most of the work is reconciling them, and what that buys is a figure for one market that can be read against the next. We do not collect declarations at the border ourselves, and we model nothing of our own to fill a period nobody has filed. The grain stops where the macro layer stops: shipment-level records with named counterparties are a different thing, and they sit behind Topease.
- Exporter and importer declare different values. Why?
- Importers value a shipment at cost, insurance and freight while exporters value the same shipment at the goods alone; transhipment through Hong Kong or Singapore lands on the wrong endpoint; and value gets under-declared at the border. On a typical lane the two declarations land about a fifth apart, and they miss in both directions in near-equal measure, so the disagreements very nearly cancel — what is left across the whole set is a small fraction of that typical gap. That is why the outliers are where the story is: a gap that moves usually means a route has moved.
- Why does one market reach 2025 while another stops at 2024?
- Statistical agencies work to their own calendars, and a market runs here for as long as something has been published for it. Most of that is the market's own return. Some of it is not: where a year was never filed annually, the trend says so — summed from monthly where twelve monthly filings stand in for it, estimated where the agency worked the figure out rather than receiving it from the market. So the last year you see for a market is the last one anything was published for, its own filing or a stand-in for one, and it moves forward when the next release arrives. Each market carries its own window here instead of being cut back to a year they all share, every figure is labelled with the period it belongs to, and the trend says which of these you are reading, so a market that has not filed yet never reads as one that stopped trading. The years in a market's window need not all come from the same publisher either, and where two adjacent ones do not, the trend breaks the line between them.
- What do the marks on the trend mean — “summed from monthly”, “estimated” and a break in the line?
- They answer different questions. Summed from monthly says how the figure was put together: several agencies publish monthly returns long before the annual one and some publish nothing else, so where a year has twelve monthly observations and the annual series this chart reads has nothing, the figure is their total. What that mark does not say is that no annual return exists at all — only that the series here carries none for that market and year. Estimated says what the figure is: the agency that published it worked it out rather than receiving it from the market. Where a year is both — twelve monthly estimates added together — only estimated is shown, because a reader told merely that twelve months were summed would still take the twelve for the market's own. A break in the line is not a third answer to that question but the answer to another one: the two marks above say how firm a figure is, while a break says the periods on either side of it come from different publishers, so the step across one cannot be read as trade alone. No figure at a break has been adjusted, and this chart cannot say how much of such a step is the change of publisher and how much is trade. A return, a total of returns and an estimate are three different claims about a single figure, a step measured across a change of publisher is a claim about a pair of them, and a reader comparing one year with the next should be able to see which of these is on screen.
- Why do the percentages not add up to 100%?
- The percentages here add up to less than 100% because this is the top of a ranking, not the market's full breakdown — the free view stops at the same ten rows as the rest of this page. An account opens twenty rows, and approval by the Hong Kong Shippers' Council opens the rest — and with them the rest of the percentages.
- Why isn't every market's full detail here?
- What this page publishes is bounded by what our public sources' terms clearly support for a free page — several condition redistribution on attribution, and material resold on to others, such as a paid product built for associations, needs licensing beyond that. Past that boundary the route is not a larger version of this page: deeper data is obtained through Topease's customs data platform, which Intereras distributes as its authorized Area Distributor. What that platform holds for the market you are working on is a question to put to us directly.

Sources: national customs authorities and official statistics agencies.
Intereras reprocesses these releases — reconciled across agencies, deduplicated where two cover the same market and year, and consolidated into one macro set — so the figures here are not the source agencies' own series. Their releases carry the definitions and technical notes.
