What is a Chi? Gold weight, conversions and local use
Definition. The chi (3.75 g) is one tenth of a Vietnamese luong (tael) and the everyday unit for gold in Vietnam. Locally it is written chỉ. One chi equals 3.75 grams, or 0.12057 troy ounces, which at today's gold spot price works out to — VND.
Where it is used. SJC bars are sold in 1 chi, 5 chi and 1 luong sizes, and jewellery is quoted in chi with the purity stated as 24K, 18K or 610. The unit is the trading standard in Vietnam.
Pricing conventions. Vietnamese SJC-branded gold has historically traded well above the world price because of import limits, so a local chi quote and a converted world price can differ substantially. Gold is the metal most often traded in these traditional units, because jewellery and savings demand kept the old weights alive long after industry went metric.
Good to know. One luong equals 10 chi equals 37.5 g, matching the Taiwanese tael.

Buying Gold in Vietnam: local market, taxes and premiums
At the live price shown above per chi, the price you see here is the international XAU spot price converted into Vietnamese Dong. Physical buyers in Vietnam pay that reference plus a premium, and local trading is concentrated around Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi, dominated by SJC. Buyers there generally watch the SJC posted buy and sell price in dong per tael as the day's reference.
Taxes and duties. There is no VAT on gold bar transactions, but only licensed institutions may trade SJC bars. Gold is the deepest of the four precious metals markets, so local retail spreads are usually the tightest and buy-back is easiest. That is why the shop price of gold in VND can sit noticeably above the spot value of the same chi of metal.
How people usually buy. The common routes in Vietnam are SJC and DOJI branches, licensed bank gold counters, PNJ jewellery stores and online dealers. The products most often quoted locally include SJC 1 tael (lượng) bars, chi and phan jewellery pieces, 9999 rings.
Local conventions. Vietnamese gold is measured in lượng (37.5 g) and chi (3.75 g); SJC-branded bars often trade at a large premium to world prices. Before you buy, compare the dealer's asking price per chi with the live gold price above, and check the buy-back spread the same dealer offers — that round-trip cost matters more than a small difference in the headline VND quote.
