Preferential rates for Vietnam
Vietnam is not a party to any of the preference programs this line lists, so a Vietnamese origin cannot claim a Column 1 Special rate here: the general rate applies.
The line's special-rate cell reads
Free (A,AU,BH,CL,CO,D,E,IL,JO,KR,MA,OM,P,PA,PE,S,SG); in words, the programs it
points at are: GSP (Generalized System of Preferences), Australia FTA, Bahrain FTA, Chile FTA, Colombia TPA, AGOA (Africa Growth and Opportunity Act), CBI (Caribbean Basin Initiative), Israel FTA, Jordan FTA, Korea FTA (KORUS), Morocco FTA, Oman FTA, CAFTA-DR, Panama TPA.
Antidumping and countervailing duty
No order in our Federal Register case file (2,773 order-lifecycle documents, rebuilt 2026-11-08) matches both HS 420292 and a Vietnamese origin. That is a statement about our file, not a clearance: AD/CVD scope is written by product description, so an order can reach goods that share your product but not your code, and cash-deposit rates are producer-specific. Check the case list at CBP before entry.
How much Vietnam actually ships under HS 420292
The US imported $83,945,451.00 of HS 420292 from Vietnam in 2026-09, 23.7% of the code's $354,389,275.00 total and the #1 origin for it.

The 28 HTS lines under HS 420292
Backpack is classified at six digits as 420292. The US adds national digits below that, and the rate is set at the line, not at the six-digit code — so this page prices 4202.92.04.00, the line the schedule resolves the code to. If your goods sit on a different line, the rate above does not apply to them.

Frequently asked questions
What is the import duty on backpack from Vietnam?
19.5% of the declared value: 7% Column 1 general rate on HTS 4202.92.04.00 plus 12.5% of Chapter 99 additional duty for a Vietnamese origin. On $10,000.00 that is $1,950.00, before freight, insurance and any antidumping or countervailing deposit.
Can a Vietnamese exporter get a lower rate on this line?
Not through a trade preference on this line. The line lists special-rate programs, but Vietnam is not a party to any of them.
Is the rate the same for every HTS line under 420292?
No. HS 420292 covers 28 HTS lines and this page prices 4202.92.04.00. A different line under the same six digits can carry a different rate and a different Chapter 99 stack, which is why the calculator asks for the line rather than the code.
