The tariff schedule contains 4492 lines at 6 digits of HS and 1726 lines detailing at 8 digits of HS. While Trade data were recorded at 6 digits of HS, therefore a part of data could not map with tariff lines.

- Type: Export, Import
- Countries: optional or choose one of 187 country/territories who are Vietnam's trade partners. Vietnam is also in the list because, in 1995, trading between Special Export Zones and other areas within Vietnam is considered as foreign trade. Trading with International Organizations is treated as trading with a separate destination.
- Region: optional or choose one of 21 regions classified by UN.
- Continent: optional or choose one of 5 Continents classified by UN.
- HS Code: optional or choose one HS code at 2 digits, 4 digits or 6 digits. Because of imperfect statistical system in Vietnam, a part of trade data is classified at 2 digits or 4 digits of HS. Particularly, some data could not be classified, therefore coded as X in HS.
- Goods description: the user can query by commodity name, with full description or key word.
Query results can be exported to Excel file.
