I am a small and medium-sized foreign trade factory in Dongguan dealing in home building materials. This year, I have developed upstream and downstream clients in Vietnam, with both import needs of natural rubber raw materials from Vietnam and export needs of finished furniture to local wholesalers in Vietnam.

I previously used a local small agency, but last month, the batch of imported raw materials was detained due to inconsistent document information, incurring nearly 20,000 yuan in demurrage. On the export side, I also had to pay a large amount of back taxes due to non-compliant VAT filing, taking over a month to resolve.

Now the new cargo container is about to arrive at the port, so I dare not use a small agency casually. I want to ask if you provide import-export agency services for Vietnam, whether you can cover the entire bilateral end-to-end process, help me ensure compliance, and avoid similar issues.

For Vietnam import-export customs clearance, key attention needs to be paid to rules of origin. Under the RCEP framework in 2026, the verification ratio of Rules of Origin for Vietnam-related import-export will continue to increase. If the description of goods or tariff item on the certificate of origin does not match the actual goods, it will directly lead to inability to enjoy tariff preferences, or even be judged as false declaration and recorded in the enterprise credit file.

For your imported rubber and exported furniture, we will review the accuracy of tariff item classification and check all information on the certificate of origin in advance to ensure complete consistency with the customs declaration form. If a price verification dispute arises, we will prepare corresponding price supporting materials in advance, including purchase contracts, payment vouchers, original manufacturer invoices, etc., to cooperate with the customs price verification process, avoid additional tariffs and late fees, handle various abnormal issues such as account suspension and amendment/re-declaration, and ensure smooth customs clearance.

The routes for Vietnam-related import-export are mainly divided into direct shipping from South China and transshipment. The direct shipping schedule from South China ports to Ho Chi Minh and Hai Phong in Vietnam is generally 3-5 days, while transshipment schedules add 2-4 days. Given your upcoming arrival of the cargo container, we can lock space on direct shipping routes in advance to avoid space shortage and container rejection.

For container detention charges and demurrage, we can apply for free storage and detention periods from the corresponding shipping line in advance. If you need route change or transit, we can quickly complete the amendment of manifest information and coordinate with the terminal. For cargo ownership control, we can select the corresponding type of bill of lading according to your trade terms, complete bill of lading endorsement procedures, ensure controllable cargo ownership, and avoid issues where goods arrive at the port but cargo ownership cannot be transferred.
