AIR FREIGHT TO VIETNAM

Vietnam has grown into one of Southeast Asia's most active manufacturing and export bases, with a wide range of global businesses sourcing goods from Vietnamese factories or exporting products into the Vietnamese market. FORW coordinates air freight to Vietnam from any global origin, handling imports, exports, and cross-trade movements.

One dedicated contact manages the full process from booking through to delivery, coordinating carriers, documentation, and customs at both ends.

How it works

Air freight to Vietnam typically takes 4-8 business days door to door depending on origin and routing.

  • Collection from the shipper's premises or a nominated pickup point at origin
  • Carrier selection and booking on the most efficient available routing
  • Full documentation management: air waybill, commercial invoice, and packing list
  • Export customs clearance at origin and import customs clearance at destination
  • Status updates throughout transit
  • Final delivery to the consignee at destination

Import, Export, and Cross-Trade

FORW handles air freight to Vietnam in all directions. We coordinate imports into Vietnam from any origin, exports from Vietnam to any global destination, and cross-trade movements where Vietnam is the origin or end point.

For European-origin shipments, goods covered by the EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA) may qualify for preferential tariff rates, provided the correct certificate of origin is in place. FORW can advise on whether this is applicable for your goods.

What We Ship to Vietnam

We coordinate a wide range of cargo on the Vietnam corridor, including:

  • Industrial machinery and components for manufacturing operations
  • Consumer goods and retail products
  • Pharmaceuticals and medical supplies
  • Sample shipments and product prototypes
  • High-value and time-sensitive cargo

Air Freight vs. Sea Freight to Vietnam

Sea freight to Vietnam typically takes 20-35 days depending on origin. Air freight reduces that considerably, making it the right choice when production schedules, customer deadlines, or cargo value make speed the priority.

FORW handles both air and sea freight to Vietnam and can advise on which option best fits your shipment.

Customs and Documentation for Vietnam

Vietnam has specific import regulations with documentation requirements that vary by commodity. Standard documents include the commercial invoice, packing list, and air waybill. A certificate of origin is often required, particularly for shipments claiming preferential tariff rates under trade agreements.

FORW supports documentation preparation and coordinates with local partners for Vietnamese import clearance.
