Insider Truths: Shop Smart

🛂 The VAT Refund Rule

You can get a tax refund at the airport for purchases over 2 million VND. Look for the “VAT Refund” logo at stores. You must present your passport when buying. Keep the invoice and form for Customs inspection.

☕ The Coffee Bean Trap

Some markets sell “Weasel Coffee” that is actually flavored corn/soybeans. Real Weasel coffee is rare and expensive. We recommend buying sealed bags from reputable brands like Trung Nguyen or verified local roasters.

Common Questions

Do I need to bargain?

In markets like Han and Con, yes. Vendors expect it. Start at 60% of the price. In supermarkets (Lotte/Vincom) and coffee shops, prices are fixed.

Can I pay with credit card?

In malls and tailors, yes (expect a 3% fee). In local markets and street stalls, you must use VND Cash. ATMs are available near all major market entrances.

Are brands at the market real?

Generally, no. “Nike” or “North Face” items in markets are usually factory seconds or replicas. Check zippers and stitching carefully. For authentic gear, go to Vincom Plaza.
