They will likely invite you to get hooked up on Zalo \u2014 Vietnam&#8217;s version of WhatsApp, but used more here. Seriously, they do everything on Zalo \u2014 calls, texts, photos, quotes \u2014 all of it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Email is just for things like sending contracts or confirming orders.

Business Culture: Trust First, Process Later<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The next thing about doing business with Vietnam is that people care more about whether they can trust you than about having a perfect contract.

They don\u2019t typically ask a ton of follow-up questions. So, it\u2019s important that you <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">take a moment to nail down what you\u2019re after.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t just say you want to import \u201cchairs\u201d or \u201cT-shirts.\u201d That\u2019s way too vague.

Typically, there are two ways to find suppliers for sourcing Vietnam goods:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Internet search:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Keywords to look for are \u201cVietnam [product] manufacturer\u201d or \u201cVietnam [product] supplier\u201d. You may be referred to B2B sites, company websites, or business directories. The more detail you include in your search (e.g. material, certification, MOQ), the more relevant and qualified the results will be.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Trade fairs:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Another way is to visit expos. The country often holds industry-specific trade fairs, typically from 5 to 10 major events per year across key sectors. You can search for events like Agri Vietnam (for food\/agriculture), HCMC Export (multi-categories), or VIFA EXPO (furniture and home decor).<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you have a list of Vietnam manufacturer names, you can whittle them down by matching them against what you have defined in Step 1. From there, select 3 to 5 that appear to be going to be a good fit and message them to find out a quote.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Inside a metalworking factory in Vietnam.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_3_Review_the_Quotes\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 3: Review the Quotes<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At this stage, you hopefully have some quotations from the Vietnamese suppliers you contacted. Oftentimes, a quotation document or email should have the basics for easy comparison.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Look for these key details:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Product specifications (material, dimensions, color, packaging)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unit price and total cost<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Minimum order quantity (MOQ)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Production lead time<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Payment terms (deposit, balance, methods)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Incoterms (e.g. FOB, EXW, CIF)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shipping method and cost (if included)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vietnamese suppliers are not always good at breaking down the full cost structure clearly. Thus. you need to consolidate the information yourself to come up with the final landed cost. From there, pick one or two suppliers with the best value and reliable communication for further vetting.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_4_Ask_for_Samples_and_Inspect_the_Quality_Yourself\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 4: Ask for Samples and Inspect the Quality Yourself<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In Vietnam, free samples may not always be given by all suppliers, especially if you are just transacting with them for the first time. Some of them might insist that you pay for the sample or at least for shipping it. That is highly normal and many buyers just pay for it to speed things up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you receive the sample, don\u2019t just look at the product. Ask yourself:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is this what I ordered?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is there quality to my standards?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are there defects which will cause problems later?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A sample is one of the best ways to test how serious a supplier is. If they deliver on this stage well, it&#8217;s a good sign that they might be a good partner for a big order.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_5_Negotiate_Terms_and_Get_It_All_in_Writing\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 5: Negotiate Terms and Get It All in Writing<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you\u2019re happy with the supplier, it\u2019s time to lock down the deal. Things you\u2019ll want to finalize on:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Final price<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Production timeline and delivery date<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Deposit amount and when to pay it<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shipping terms (FOB, EXW, CIF, etc.)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Payment method (T\/T, L\/C, etc.)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, talk about what happens if things go wrong. What if the goods arrive damaged or late? Will they fix it, replace it, or refund you?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Again, manufacturers from Vietnam are quite informal when it comes to documentation. They will not automatically issue detailed contracts, and you should request everything in writing. Ideally, get a signed proforma invoice or sales agreement that outlines all key terms to avoid misunderstandings or disputes later.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_6_Watch_Over_Production\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 6: Watch Over Production<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mistakes can happen, and in Vietnam, suppliers may not always update you unless you ask. The best way to stay in the loop? Use Zalo. Most suppliers will be happy to send over photos, short videos, or quick updates as production moves along.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want extra peace of mind, you can also hire a local quality control (QC) team or a third-party inspection company to check the goods before they\u2019re shipped.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_7_Set_up_the_Shipping_Customs\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 7: Set up the Shipping &amp; Customs<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You now have to figure out how you actually ship your items from Vietnam to your warehouse (wherever they&#8217;re going). Start by figuring out who is doing what. Shipping terms like FOB, CIF, or EXW tell you whether the supplier or you pay for the different parts of the trip, including the cost.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Three major shipping options from Vietnam:<\/span><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Shipping method<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Key features<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Delivery time<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Air freight<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fast but expensive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Best for small, high-value items like electronics or urgent orders.<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2\u20137 days, limited to lightweight cargo (~4-15kg)<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Sea freight<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Economical for bulk goods like furniture or apparel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Much slower than air.<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">~20\u201340 days (to USA and EU)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">~7\u201321 days (to Japan and Korea)<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Land transport<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Low cost, suitable for nearby countries like China, Cambodia, Laos.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cost varies by distance and weight.<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As fast as 1 day<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also double-check your documents.

Today, shoes labeled \u201cMade in Vietnam\u201d are widely known for their quality and reliability, which has helped the country become a top manufacturing base for global brands like Nike and Adidas.<\/p>\n<p>Vietnam produces an impressive range of footwear, from running, training, and other athletic shoes to leather styles, sandals, casual and lifestyle shoes, as well as fashion and outdoor footwear. All of this is supported by a highly skilled workforce with deep experience in producing mid- to high-end branded products.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Apparel\"><\/span>Apparel<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Vietnam\u2019s apparel and garment industry is one of the country\u2019s economic backbones, employing around 2.4 million people across more than 6,000 factories. It is also one of the world\u2019s leading garment exporters, supplying major markets like the United States, the European Union, Japan, and South Korea.<\/p>\n<p>Compared with other garment-producing countries, Vietnam stands out for its balance of fast production, reliable quality control, and strong labor compliance. Many factories are already used to working with international audits, sustainability programs, and strict buyer requirements, which makes them easier to work with for global brands.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Furniture_Wooden_products\"><\/span>Furniture &amp; Wooden products<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Vietnam is one of the world\u2019s top exporters of furniture and wood products, especially to the US and Europe. The industry is backed by a well-developed supply chain, strong woodworking expertise, and increasing investment in modern machinery. Vietnamese manufacturers make everything from indoor and outdoor furniture to wooden home goods and custom OEM pieces.<\/p>\n<p>In recent years, the country has also moved toward higher-value production, with a stronger focus on design flexibility, better finishing quality, and meeting international timber legality standards.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cofee\"><\/span>Cofee<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Vietnamese coffee is a great sourcing choice for buyers who want dependable quality, the ability to scale, and long-term supply stability. Vietnam is best known for its Robusta coffee and is the world\u2019s largest producer of it. Robusta from Vietnam is known for its bold taste, high caffeine levels, and consistent quality, which is why it is widely used by global roasters, instant coffee makers, and beverage brands.<\/p>\n<p>In recent years, Vietnam has invested heavily in better processing, traceability, and quality control. This has helped exporters meet stricter international standards and better serve premium and specialty coffee markets.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Agricultural_products_Nuts_Spices_Rice\"><\/span>Agricultural products (Nuts, Spices, Rice)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Vietnam is one of the world\u2019s leading suppliers of agricultural products, with strong exports across key categories like cashew nuts, pepper, rice, and other staple and specialty crops. The country consistently ranks among the top exporters of both cashews and black pepper, serving major markets in North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.<\/p>\n<p>Vietnam also benefits from ideal growing conditions, competitive production costs, and a well-developed export system. Many suppliers now provide value-added processing, custom packaging, and private-label services to meet the needs of international buyers.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Handicrafts_Home_decor\"><\/span>Handicrafts &amp; Home decor<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Vietnam is widely known as a go-to sourcing hub for handicrafts and home d\u00e9cor, where generations of traditional craftsmanship come together with modern, export-ready production.<br \/>\nPopular products range from bamboo, rattan, and seagrass items to ceramics, lacquerware, decorative accessories, and handmade, eco-friendly d\u00e9cor. Vietnamese producers are especially valued for their design flexibility, ability to customize, and capacity to scale without sacrificing quality.<\/p>\n<p>With skilled artisan communities and export-focused factories working side by side, Vietnam is an ideal choice for brands and retailers looking for distinctive home d\u00e9cor that fits today\u2019s demand for sustainability, ethical sourcing, and lifestyle-driven design.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Key_Considerations_For_Importing_Goods_from_Vietnam\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Key Considerations For Importing Goods from Vietnam\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So that\u2019s how you can import goods from Vietnamese suppliers.

MOQ and Lead Times Differ A Lot<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Minimum order quantities (MOQs) and lead times in Vietnam literally depend on what you&#8217;re purchasing and who you&#8217;re sourcing from. There&#8217;s no one-size-fits-all. Some factories are accommodating; others are not.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here&#8217;s a rough estimate based on typical product types:<\/span><\/p>\n<div

You&#8217;ll Need the Right Documentation<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>One key part of understanding how to source goods from Vietnam is knowing the paperwork involved. Importing Vietnamese products requires a clear understanding of export documents from the supplier\u2019s side. To avoid the headache of customs delays or rejected shipments, check for:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Commercial invoice &amp; sales contract<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (product details, quantities, unit price, total value)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Packing list<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (packaging specs and carton counts)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Bill of lading <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(Issued by the carrier; required for cargo release.)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Certificate of Origin (C\/O)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (confirms that the product was made in Vietnam; required for tax benefits under FTAs)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Export customs declaration<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (mandatory under Vietnamese law; must match the actual shipment)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Phytosanitary or fumigation certificates<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (if exporting wood, food, or plant-based goods)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not to mention, you\u2019ll also need to prepare the correct import paperwork on your side, depending on your country\u2019s regulations. In some countries like the United States, importing Vietnamese wood products or seafood requires additional documentation such as Lacey Act declarations (for timber legality) or FDA prior notice (for food items). In the European Union, textile and apparel imports must comply with REACH regulations and may require eco-labeling or lab tests.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Price_Is_More_Than_Single-Unit_Cost\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Price Is More Than Single-Unit Cost<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s easy enough to get caught up in unit cost, but honestly, that&#8217;s only a portion of the total price. You&#8217;ll also need to factor in:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Import duties and VAT (usually 5\u201310%)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Freight, loading, and customs clearance<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bank charges, packaging, sample charges, etc.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vietnamese suppliers typically only accept payments via wire transfer to local banks, except for larger exporters who may offer PayPal or LC options. And international wire transfers come with bank charges on both sides, often $30\u201350 per transaction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t forget to ask about hidden costs such as inland freight, material change fees, or whether sample charges are refundable.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Dont_Skip_QAQC\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. Don&#8217;t Skip QA\/QC<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most Vietnamese suppliers tend to focus a lot on meeting your delivery deadline. But that doesn\u2019t always mean they\u2019ll meet your quality expectations &#8211; unless you set clear quality standards from the beginning. You don\u2019t have to make it complicated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just make sure:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your product specifications are clear<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You both agree on what\u2019s considered \u201cacceptable\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And it\u2019s also a good idea to work with a third-party inspection service to check the goods before shipment (as covered in Step 6 of this guide on how to source goods from Vietnam).<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Protect_Your_IP\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5. Protect Your IP<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vietnam&#8217;s getting better when it comes to intellectual property law, but it&#8217;s still better to be safe than sorry. If you&#8217;re working with custom designs, here&#8217;s what we suggest:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Register your IP locally if it matters to your brand.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Always have an NDA signed by your supplier.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don&#8217;t send over full product files unless there&#8217;s a binding contract.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Shipping_Can_Be_Pickier\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6. Shipping Can Be Pickier<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are about 30+ ports in Vietnam, but most shipping still occurs through some of the large ones like Hai Phong, Saigon, and Cai Mep. The rest? Small ports that get clogged up quickly. Which means:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Surprise delays (up to 5\u201310 days, especially during peak export seasons)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Longer loading times (up to 2\u20133 extra days due to limited equipment or container shortages)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Schedules are changing at the last minute<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shipping disruptions also spike around Vietnamese holidays like T\u1ebft (Lunar New Year) in January\u2013February and National Day in September. Many factories and logistics providers shut down for up to 7\u201310 days, so book shipments well in advance and avoid tight deadlines during these periods.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s everything to help you answer the question \u201cHow do I import goods from Vietnam?\u201d In short, importing Vietnamese products is a good strategy to tap into cost-effective manufacturing and diverse product categories, but it comes with its own challenges \u2014 from paperwork to port delays. As long as you plan ahead, vet suppliers carefully, and stay on top of logistics, Vietnam can be a reliable and rewarding sourcing destination.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Taking care of everything yourself (from sourcing suppliers to searching out shipping info) can be tedious and exhausting.
