Practical advice

Personal devotional items (prayer beads, ritual textiles, statuettes under 30cm, scriptures) clear Vietnam Customs as routine personal effects. Antique or culturally significant pieces (>50 years old, precious-metal mounts) may attract heritage-export questions; carry purchase receipts.
