Vietnam’s freight conditions are relatively balanced, encompassing various types of trade. As a freight agent, we utilize Vietnam’s several key ports, including Hai Phong Port and Ho Chi Minh City Port, which serve as crucial hubs for import and export activities. Vietnam’s proximity to China offers a geographical advantage, facilitating convenient land transportation between the two countries. We leverage Vietnam’s continually improving logistics infrastructure, including well-developed road, railway, and air transport networks, making cargo transportation more efficient and diverse. Additionally, the Vietnamese government actively promotes the development of the logistics and transportation sector, continually optimizing customs and logistics processes to ensure smooth domestic and international trade.
