The paper uses the gravity model and panel data to examine the determinants of Vietnam's export to the EU market during the 2007-2017 period. The article uses the Hausman-Taylor estimator for the optimal combination of Fixed-Effects (FE) and Random-Effects (RE) methods. The estimation results indicate that the determinants of Vietnam's export to the EU market include: aggregate population (+2,512); aggregate GDP per capita (+1,256); Vietnam's index of infrastructure (+0,824) and aggregate trade openness (+0,377). Based on these results, the paper suggests policies to boost Vietnam's export to the EU
