Logistics & Freight Forwarding in Vietnam

A freight forwarder books the ocean or air space, consolidates your cargo and moves the paperwork that goes with it. Most Vietnamese exporters quote EXW or FOB, which means the leg from the factory gate onward is yours to arrange — this is the company that arranges it.

What to tell a freight forwarder

Give them your load port and destination port, the Incoterm your supplier quoted, cargo type and rough volume (CBM or container count), and how often you expect to ship.

Before you appoint one

  • Ask whether they are an NVOCC with their own bills of lading or a broker reselling someone else's space — it changes who you chase when a container is rolled.
  • Get the all-in figure. Ocean rates look competitive until THC, documentation, seal and local charges land on the invoice.
  • Check they actually serve your load port. A Hai Phong specialist quoting Cat Lai is subcontracting, and the margin comes out of your rate.
