On-trade refers to distribution through restaurants, coffee shops, bars, hotels and other catering establishments and off-trade refers to grocery retailers (Traddional grocery retailer, Convenience Stores, Supermarkets, Hypermarkets), vending machine and internet retailing. The majority of alcoholic drinks are distributed through the on-trade channel because of the culture drinking for social communication. However, the off-trade channel are gaining momentum through years. Consumers have been gradually willing to purchase alcoholic drinks and drink them in the comfort of their homes or during social gatherings. High-income urban consumers also invested in premium wine and spirits to drink at home, as they want to better appreciate the quality and taste. Soft drinks in contrast are mainly distributed through off-trade channel with the ratio about 60:40. This is because soft drinks are consumed more often and offtrade channel seems to be more convenient. This is similar for hot drinks when they are used a lot at home. In total, for both alcoholic drinks and soft-drinks, there is a relative balance between two channels. The ratio off-trade/on-trade volume in 2012 is around 45:55, increasing to around 50:50 in 2017. The reason for increase is the strong development of modern grocery, especially the convenience store chains along with the fast-pace urbanization process making people life busier. 100% 50% 0% Source: GSO; Euromonitor; VietnamCredit 70.6% 29.4% 2017 35.8% 37.2% 64.2% 62.8% 50.7% 49.3% Alcoholic Drinks Soft Drinks Hot Drinks Total drinks Off-trade On-trade

As prescribed by the law No. 107/2016/QH13 dated 06 April, 2016, one of three tax rates can be applied, including preferential rates, special preferential rates and ordinary rates (Clause 3, Article 5). Preferential rates are applied to imports originated from MFN countriesthat accord Vietnam most-favored nation treatment (Official Letter No. 8678/TCHQ-TXNK dated 09 September 2016). In general, thanks to free trade agreements, import tax rate is reduced or removed (special preferential rates is applied). For example, ASEAN Trade In Goods Agreement (ATIGA) has removed import tax rate applied for drinks. Vietnam beverage market is predicted to be more competitive because of foreign companies, especially for soft drinks when the imported tax have largely decreased. There have been 10 FTAs becoming effective, 3 others (AHKFTA Asean - Hongkong, CPTPP Trans-Pacific Partnership and EVFTA Vietnam-EU) have been signed but not yet effective and 4 more are under negotiation. While soft drinks and spirits with ABV>=80% are mainly imported from ASEAN countries, alcoholic drinks are mainly imported from Chile (mainly wine) and Europe. However, the special preferential rates applied for wine in VCFTA between Vietnam and Chile are higher than preferential rates.
