Customs and documentation tips
- Make sure the commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading and customs declaration show consistent descriptions, HS codes, quantities and weights.
- Agree the Incoterms® rule and who arranges freight, insurance and destination charges before booking.
- Choose the bill of lading type (original, telex release or sea waybill) according to the payment terms with your buyer or supplier.
- Declare the verified gross mass (VGM) of each container before the carrier’s cut-off, as required by SOLAS.
- Check destination import requirements early: licences, product standards, labelling, fumigation or phytosanitary certificates where applicable.
- For China, manifest data must be transmitted to customs in advance of loading, so accurate consignee and cargo details are needed early.
Vietnam has free trade agreements with China that may reduce import duties with a valid proof of origin: RCEP, ACFTA. Vietnam’s free trade agreements →
