U.S. Extends Intellectual Property Investigation Into Vietnam to February 28, 2027

According to a statement from the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) on Tuesday (November 10), the U.S. trade investigation into Vietnam's intellectual property protection has been extended by three months, pushing the deadline from November 29 to February 28, 2027. The USTR cited the complexity of issues under review as requiring additional time for clarification.

Vietnam was designated as a Priority Foreign Country (PFC) for intellectual property violations, marking the first time in 13 years the U.S. has placed a nation on this highest-level monitoring list. The investigation findings could prompt new tariffs against Vietnam. Currently, the U.S. has already imposed a 12.5% across-the-board tariff on Vietnamese goods as of July 2026.
