In addition to significant drops in tariff rates when Vietnam first joined the WTO in January 2007, tariffs have decreased steadily over the ensuing years. Thus, most U.S. exports now face tariffs of 15% or less.

Most of the products for which tariffs have increased are produced by Vietnamese companies.
