Online merchants and traders will receive training on the Electronic Commerce Law 2025 starting from 2026, under an implementation plan issued by the Government ahead of the law’s effective date in early July.
The plan was issued under Decision 776/QĐ-TTg, signed by Deputy Prime Minister and Standing Deputy Prime Minister Phạm Gia Túc. It is designed to introduce the new regulations in a coordinated manner and help businesses and individuals understand how to comply with the law.
Under the plan, the Ministry of Industry and Trade will lead and coordinate with other ministries, sectors, localities, and relevant agencies to organize conferences, seminars, and training courses for multiple groups, including management officials, enterprises, home-based businesses, and individuals selling online.
The training content will focus on updating legal provisions and providing guidance on practical application. Programs will be delivered flexibly in in-person, online, or blended formats to improve access for participants.
Training will be conducted not only in 2026 but also maintained in subsequent years.
In parallel with training, ministries and localities are required to review existing documents related to e-commerce to ensure they align with the new law. Review results must be submitted to the Ministry of Industry and Trade by May 10, after which the ministry will compile and report to the Government in June.
The Ministry of Industry and Trade will coordinate with the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Public Security, and the State Bank of Vietnam to draft a decree providing detailed guidance for implementation of the law.
The ministry will also propose amendments to penalties for administrative violations in the e-commerce field. These tasks are expected to be completed in Q4 2026.
The Electronic Commerce Law was passed by the National Assembly on December 10, 2025, amid rapid growth in online buying and selling and the emergence of new governance issues. Organizing training early is intended to help online businesses adapt to the new rules, reduce risks, and support more transparent operations.
