Your Dedicated Shipping Agent in Vietnam
With each passing year, a growing number of businesses and traders are sourcing goods from Vietnam and importing them to countries all around the globe. Vietnam has become a major manufacturing hub. One of the challenges businesses face is in finding a suitable shipping agent in Vietnam which can understand their business needs and figure out the best way to ship.
CNXtrans has partnered with ECFreight (a Southeast Asian Freight Forwarder) to offer customers around the world a whole host of comprehensive shipping options from Vietnam at highly competitive rates.
Ship from Vietnam by Sea Freight
For large shipments from Vietnam, the best way to ship is generally by sea freight (although land freight is also an option for shipping to neighboring countries).
If the shipment is not large enough to fill a full container, it would be considered a LCL (Less Container Load) shipment. If the shipment is large enough to fill a full container, it would be considered a FCL (Full Container Load) shipment.
For even larger shipments with special requirements, we can also ship via Bulk Cargo, Roro or OOG channels.
Shipments can be either to any major port in your destination country or all the way to your final address (available only for certain countries).

FAQs on Shipping by Sea Freight from Vietnam
Why Ship by Sea Freight?
Each year, the bulk of goods in global trade are transported by sea freight. It is the most commonly used mode of shipping. When shipping a large volume of goods, it is not cost effective to ship by air and more economic to ship by sea. Furthermore, with sea freight, it is also possible to ship goods that are considered sensitive to ship by air such as electronic products with batteries.
​How large should a shipment be to make it worthwhile to ship by Sea Freight?
Normally, we recommend that a shipment be at least 2 CBM (Cubic Meters) in volume to make it worthwhile to be shipped by sea freight. There are minimum fixed costs involved in sea freight shipping whereby if the shipment is too small, it would not be worthwhile to ship by sea freight. Smaller shipments can be shipped by air courier express or air freight. For a 2 CBM shipment, we would ship by LCL (Less Container Load). For much larger shipments, we would ship by FCL (Full Container Load).
How large should a shipment be before shipping by Full Container Load (FCL)?
A 20 foot container typically has the capacity to fill 33 cubic meters (CBM) of goods. However, from a financial standpoint, we normally recommend a shipment is shipped via FCL (Full Container Load) if it is at least 15 cubic meters (CBM) in volume. There are many benefits to shipping as a full container, such as the fact that the goods will not need to be combined with goods from another consignee in the same container, smoother and faster customs clearance, and in the case of door to door shipping, the fact that the goods can be delivered to your address without waiting to have the container unloaded at the port, making the shipment time shorter than would be the case for an LCL shipment.
Which Port in Vietnam should I ship from?
The busiest ports in Vietnam are the Port of Hai Phong (VNHPH), Port of Da Nang (VNDAD) and Port of Saigon (VNSGN). Which port we will ship from will depend on two factors. Firstly, it depends on which port is closest to your suppliers. Naturally, it would be most convenient to ship from the port that is closest to your suppliers. Secondly, it will also depend on the shipping rates from each port at that point in time. Unless you have a specific preference, we will try to choose the most economical shipping channel for you to help you save on shipping.
​Ship from Vietnam by Air Freight
In partnership with ECFreight, CNXtrans is able to ship by air freight from all major airports in Vietnam. We can ship from airports such as Noi Bai International Airport (Hanoi), Tan Son Nhat International Airport ( Ho Chi Minh City), Da Nang International Airport (Da Nang) and others. Air freight is suitable for smaller urgent shipments where time is more of a priority than cost.
Normally air freight is more cost effective for smaller shipments of under 200kg in chargeable weight. For larger shipments where cost is more of a priority than time, we would recommend shipping by sea freight instead. As per IATA (International Air Transport Association) regulations, sensitive goods like batteries, liquids and flammable products cannot be shipped by air from Vietnam.
When should I choose air freight?
There are situations where speed is more of a priority than costs. This is especially so for high value goods where fast fulfillment may be important to the final recipient, whether it's you or a customer.
Depending on the air freight channel used to ship from Vietnam along with the country being shipped to and whether or not the destination address is remote, air freight can take anywhere between 5-12 days on average.
With air freight, we either ship goods to major airports all around the world or all the way to your final delivery address.
Air Courier Express Shipping
For urgent shipments from Vietnam, we can also ship via Air Courier Express. Depending on which country you're shipping to and whether or not the address is considered remote, air courier Express shipping can take anywhere from 4-8 days.
Generally speaking, air courier Express shipping is recommended for shipments of high value goods where speed is more of a priority than cost. Your shipment will be delivered all the way to your address anywhere around the world.
Ship by Land (Truck or Rail)
Another alternative way to ship internationally from Vietnam is to ship by land. The options available for shipping by land are by truck or train, depending on the destination country and region.
Shipping by land (rail freight or truck freight) is an increasingly popular way to ship from Vietnam as it cost less than shipping by air and is faster than shipping sea freight. Shipping by land (rail freight or truck freight) is a cost effective alternative to shipping by air and yet generally faster than shipping by sea freight.
Door to Door/Door to Port Shipping
Ship to Port
When shipping internationally from Vietnam, we can ship to any major sea, air or rail port around the world. In this case you'll need to have a customs broker in your destination country to assist you with customs clearance.
Ship to Door
When shipping internationally from Vietnam, you can also choose to ship to door. In this case, customs clearance will be taken care of for you and you simply have to wait the shipment to be delivered all the way to your doorstep.
