On April 3, 2025, the US Government officially announced the imposition of import taxes of up to 46% on goods from Vietnam - a decision that shocked the global business and investment community. While many export enterprises and FDI corporations are facing difficulties, some units are almost "immune" to this strict tax imposition. Notable among them is HVA Investment Joint Stock Company (HVA Group) - a leading financial and digital asset investment enterprise in Vietnam.
1. US imposes 46% tax on Vietnam: Shock to export economy
On April 3, 2025, the US President announced a new tariff package, including:
- Imposing 46% tax on 90% of imported goods from Vietnam
- Including key product groups: textiles, footwear, wooden products, interior, electronic equipment
- Aiming to “respond” to trade barriers and trade deficits with the United States
Direct consequences:
- Thousands of manufacturing and exporting enterprises fall into a passive position.
- Stock prices of many international corporations with factories in Vietnam (such as Nike, Adidas) plummeted.
- Risk of supply chain disruption, stagnant FDI flows
However, in that context, HVA Group – a digital asset investment enterprise – still maintains a stable state, not affected by this tax policy. Why?
2. HVA Group: “Immune” because of independent strategy and smart localization
No physical exports – No import duties
Unlike businesses that manufacture consumer goods or export directly to the United States, HVA Group operates entirely in the fields of digital finance, investment and asset management consulting, with no involvement in the physical product supply chain.
- No products subject to export tax
- No cost revaluation due to tax fluctuations
- Not dependent on the US consumer market
Domestic focused investment ecosystem
HVA chose to develop an asset management and investment platform in the Vietnamese market, aiming to:
- Domestic individual and corporate investors
- Domestic startups need financial - legal - capital raising advice
- Localized digital asset investment channels such as ONUS, VNDC…
Being “autonomous in terms of market and capital flows” helps HVA to be completely immune to the impact of international trade barriers.
3. Investing in Gold – Choosing a Strategy During a Crisis
Gold price hits peak: Golden time for smart investors
In April 2025, the world gold price will exceed 3,100 USD/ounce – the highest level in history – due to concerns about inflation, war and global economic crisis. In Vietnam, SJC gold bars reached over 101.8 million VND/tael, triggering a strong wave of investment.
HVA Group quickly recognized this trend and took strategic steps:
HVA invests 40 billion VND in HanaGold – A pioneering step in the 4.0 jewelry industry
With a long-term vision, HVA invests 40 billion VND enter HanaGold Joint Stock Company, to:
- Strengthening gold asset management with digital technology
- Promoting transparent gold identification
- Model shaping “jewelry 4.0” – where technology and tradition converge
NAV increased by 43,19% – Asset growth exceeded expectations
After a short time:
- Net Asset Value (NAV) from the investment achieved 57.5 billion VND
- Increase 43,19% compared to initial capital
- Actual profit earned than 1.19 billion VND as of April 2025
This investment not only creates a steady cash flow but also affirming the ability to invest sensitively and effectively in the long term of HVA.
4. No legal connection with the United States
No token issuance in the US – No fundraising from US citizens
HVA has not engaged in activities that may involve U.S. jurisdiction, including:
- No expansion to the US
- Do not list tokens or digital assets on US exchanges
- No investment from US citizens or entities
As a result, HVA avoids scrutiny from the SEC, IRS, or international treaties involving the US, including in the digital asset space.
5. Optimize legal tax in Vietnam
While many export enterprises are "out of breath" due to high tax costs, HVA still maintains stable profitability thanks to:
- Take advantage of tax incentives for innovative businesses
- Reinvest in priority areas such as technology, digital transformation, financial education
- Apply professional financial and legal management, ensuring compliance while still optimizing profits
6. HVA's strategic thinking: "Strong internal strength - Self-sufficient ecosystem"
In the uncertain global context, HVA Group does not choose to expand massively or chase after large markets like the US, but on the contrary:
- Focus on developing real value in the domestic financial ecosystem
- Connect and accompany startups in the fundraising and growth stages
- Become a bridge between investors and businesses, helping to manage assets intelligently and safely
Conclusion: HVA – A “shock-proof” enterprise in the face of global fluctuations
The US 46% tariff policy is a reminder for businesses to build business models that are resilient to global risks.
HVA Group is a testament to the “one step ahead” mindset:
- Not dependent on the US market
- Do not operate under an unregulated cross-border financial model
- Not vulnerable to international policy fluctuations
While the world is struggling to adjust its strategy, HVA is ready to accelerate, continuing to affirm its position as a solid, safe and effective digital financial ecosystem in Vietnam.
