The General Statistics Office estimated last month that the total import turnover of automobiles in the first 11 months of the year would be US$1.292 billion with 60,000 units. However, the latest figure disclosed by the General Department of Customs reflected different data from estimates. The most recent figures showed that the country reached 61,595 units, with a turnover value of US$1.345 billion.

Moreover, the amount attained this year would reach a record level of imported automobiles, as estimated figures were double those of last year, in terms of both quantity and value.

Further, the latest numbers announced by the Vietnam Automobile Manufacturers Association revealed that the assembled and CUB imported units into Vietnam in the first seven months of the year rose by 24% and 62%, respectively, compared with the same period last year.
