important information about cargo Shipping to Vietnam

Cargo Shipping To Vietnam

Located in Southeast Asia, and bordered by the South China Sea, Cambodia, China and Laos, there are many shipping ports in Vietnam. Major shipping ports in Vietnam include the Port of Ba Ngoi, Hai Phong and Vung Tau. In addition, Ho Chi Minh City or Saigon is a major shipping port in Vietnam.

If you are cargo shipping to Vietnam, you will need some important documentation, including a copy of your passport and two copies of your shipping inventory.

When shipping to Vietnam, your shipping inventory should be written in English and detailed with information about all of the cargo you are shipping. It is not acceptable to merely write “PBO” or packed by owner on your boxes.

If you are shipping electronic items to Vietnam, you should plan to provide detailed information about the brand, model, and serial number of your items. Make sure that your name is written on all of the packages you are shipping to Vietnam and appears the same as is listed on your passport.

Additional documentation you will need when shipping to Vietnam includes:
  1. Loading sheet with the item numbers in each lift van
  2. Copy of a government work permit showing that your company is allowed to establish business in Vietnam. Without this documentation, it is possible that your cargo may not clear for entrance into Vietnam.
  3. Airport Customs Declaration retained by your last entry
  4. Letter that provides authorization for a Destination Agent to handle customs clearance on your organization’s letterhead
When you are shipping cargo to Vietnam, you should arrange to be in Vietnam for Customs clearance for your shipments, regardless of whether they arrive by air or water. Customs officials in Vietnam inspect all shipments entering the country.

Any antiques shipped to Vietnam should be photographed at origin and declared to Customs upon arrival in Vietnam in order to avoid any problems at the time of export from Vietnam.

Restricted and Dutiable Items When Shipping by Sea to Vietnam

If you are shipping by sea to Vietnam, please note that you may be required to pay taxes on certain items. Goods that may require certain duty fees and taxes when shipping to Vietnam include:

  • Cars, vehicles and motorcycles
  • Tobacco products

If you are shipping alcoholic beverages and/or tobacco products to Vietnam, all items must be documented on your shipping inventory. You should document these items with the specific number of bottles and type of alcohol and quantity of tobacco. If you want to ship alcohol to Vietnam, it is advisable that the quantity be less than two cases.

Cultural items including books, compact discs, videos, cassettes, video recorders, computer discs, and document files will be inspected by the Cultural Department in Vietnam (these items should be documented on your packing inventory including the quantity of each item). You could also bring CDs, cassette tapes, and radio tapes with you as accompanied baggage if you are traveling to Vietnam by plane.

You may incur charges for the inspection of your items if you are shipping to Vietnam. This is something that an experienced cargo shipping company like Cargo Experts can provide greater information about.
If you are shipping medicine to Vietnam, make sure you have a prescription available.

You will likely have to pay duty fees on electrical and electronic items that you ship to Vietnam. Remember to list details like the brand, model and serial number on your packing inventory when cargo shipping to Vietnam.
