This value accounted for approximately 22% of the total US imports of similar products, amounting to USD 124.8 million. Vietnam is currently the second-largest supplier in this market, after Taiwan (China).
Although no trade remedy measures have been imposed on these products, Vietnamese goods still account for a relatively high proportion of total US imports. Therefore, businesses should continue monitoring market developments and the possibility of investigation requests from the United States in the coming period.
Pencils exported to Mexico
Reference HS code: 9609.10
Mexico is currently imposing anti-dumping duties on pencils imported from China.
During the first seven months of 2026, Vietnam’s pencil exports to Mexico reached USD 10.4 million, up 27.6% from USD 8.1 million in the same period of 2025. Vietnamese goods accounted for 32.1% of Mexico’s total imports of similar products, equivalent to USD 32.3 million. With this result, Vietnam is the largest supplier in the Mexican market, ahead of China and the Philippines.
The leading market share and strong competitive position may make pencils exported from Vietnam a subject of interest to Mexico’s domestic industry. Businesses should continue monitoring the risk of potential trade remedy investigations and ensure that documentation concerning raw material origins and manufacturing processes is properly maintained.
Container Chassis exported to Canada
Reference HS code: 8716.39
Since 2022, Canada has imposed anti-dumping and countervailing duties on container chassis imported from China. During 2024–2025, Canadian authorities also conducted an anti-circumvention investigation into products imported from Vietnam but concluded that no circumvention of trade remedy measures had occurred.
During the first seven months of 2026, Vietnam’s exports of these products to Canada reached USD 2.7 million, a significant increase from USD 416,500 in the same period of 2025. Vietnam accounted for approximately 3.2% of Canada’s total container chassis imports, equivalent to USD 86.3 million. Vietnam currently ranks third among the largest suppliers, after the United States and China.
