Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I get more information on Vietnam import?

You can connect to our Dimerco Vietnam import team via email: [email protected]

Why is my shipment not telex released yet?

This could be due to either the original bill not being available or the shipper not having paid the fees at the Port of Loading, preventing the telex release.

Can I apply for a certificate of origin to reduce import tax to the US?

In Vietnam, only a Vietnamese shipper or their authorized customs broker can apply for a Certificate of Origin. When ordering from a Vietnamese factory, make sure the product qualifies for Form B. While Vietnam doesn’t have a formal agreement with the US for preferential import tax, products with a Vietnamese Certificate of Origin might still enjoy lower import taxes in the US than those from countries like China. You may check with your Vietnam Logistics Partner or Dimerco to learn more about this process. Learn more about Shipping from Vietnam to the US here: Shipping from Vietnam to the US

What are the Duties and Tax Policy for Free Trade Agreements (FTA) in Vietnam?

If the certificate of origin aligns with Vietnam’s Free Trade Agreement (FTA), preferential tax rates may apply or be waived entirely. Regarding Value Added Tax (VAT), if the cargo is imported for trading purposes, VAT is typically required to be paid. Check with your Vietnam Logistics Partner for more details.

What documents are required for customs declaration in Vietnam?

The documents needed and prices vary depending on your product and where your company is located. To assist you further, simply share the English product name and your company address with us.
