No specific restrictions for personal chewing gum

Details

No specific restrictions for personal chewing gum. Quantity guidance for Vietnam: Personal use. Documentation: Retail packaging with ingredient list; Country of origin visible on label. Allowed status assumes personal-use quantities — commercial-scale amounts move the entry into formal import procedures with duty and documentation. Arrival checks are carried out by General Department of Vietnam Customs (GDVC); when in doubt use the declare (red) channel — declared goods at worst attract duty or surrender, while undeclared goods attract penalties. Leaving Vietnam with chewing gum is a separate question: allowed — Chewing gum may be exported from Vietnam freely at personal-use quantities.

Practical advice

Personal quantities of Chewing Gum in original commercial packaging are generally permitted for personal consumption in Vietnam. Declare all food items on the arrival card even if under the value threshold — most customs authorities treat undeclared food as an offence separate from the goods' underlying admissibility. Retail-packaged items with clear ingredient labelling clear inspection faster than home-prepared or loose products.
