There's no know API call or UI way to clone a resource. I guess you might need a tool to create a representation of your VPC in code and then change it to create the VPC clone in another region or account

For example there's a way to create a CloudFormation stack from existing resources https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/resource-import-new-stack.html

In the end, a CloudFormation stack is a big text file (json text) that defines the architecture, so once created is possible to modify and export it.

You also have some third party tools like terraform able to define infrastructure as code, terraform also supports importing existing resources but it does not "write the code" for the imported resources, leaving that to the developer.
