Cargo moving in and out of Vietnam, whichever side you are on
Protrans works for the party that pays the freight. That can be a Vietnamese factory selling abroad, a Vietnamese company buying from overseas, an overseas supplier shipping into Vietnam, or an overseas buyer sourcing from Vietnamese suppliers. Find yourself below.
Which one are you
Each of the four works differently, because the Incoterm decides who hires the forwarder and which leg we run.
You sell abroad and need the cost locked before you quote
Factories and trading companies in Ho Chi Minh City, Binh Duong and Dong Nai, shipping to the US, EU and Japan. The freight number has to be right before you commit a price to your buyer.
- An all-in rate you can quote againstFreight plus origin and destination surcharges in one figure, so your FOB or CIF price holds.
- Space held before peak seasonBooked against your production plan, with a fallback when the carrier rolls or omits the call.
You buy overseas and need it cleared and delivered here
Machinery, raw materials, components. The landed cost matters more than the ocean rate, and a declaration held at the port stops your line.
- An agent at the origin portCargo collected from your supplier abroad, consolidated and shipped on your terms, not theirs.
- Duty worked out before arrivalHS code, duty and VAT calculated up front so the landed cost is known before the vessel berths.
You sold CIF or DDP and now need the Vietnam end covered
You are the seller, the cargo is on the water, and the part you cannot see is what happens after it lands. Protrans is the destination agent that closes it out.
- Import clearance in your nameDeclaration, inspection and release at Cat Lai, Hai Phong or Noi Bai, handled by our own licensed team.
- Final delivery to the consigneeTrucked to your customer's door anywhere in Vietnam, with proof of delivery back to you.
Your origin agent in Vietnam, working for you and not the factory
When you buy FOB Vietnam, you choose the forwarder at origin. Nominate Protrans and we answer to you: we chase your suppliers, load your containers and file the export, then report back in English on your working hours.
- Nominated by you, accountable to youWe follow your shipping instructions, not the seller's. Booking, rates and status come to you first.
- We chase the factory so you do not have toCargo ready date confirmed, stuffing supervised, photos of the loaded container before the doors close.
Where we run the most volume
Three industries make up most of what leaves our warehouses. Each one fails in its own way, so each one is handled differently.
Garment and footwear
OEM workshops shipping to season. Rates spike and space tightens exactly when your delivery date cannot move.
Wood and furniture
Bulky cargo out of Binh Duong and Dong Nai, full containers every month. A mid-contract rate rise eats the margin you already sold.
Agriculture and food
More paperwork than dry cargo: phytosanitary, C/O, certificates per lot. A few days held at the port and the cargo is gone, not just the fee.
Three people look at the same shipment
Each of them needs something different. All three get it from the same place.
Owner or director
Wants the total cost and the risk on one page, and certainty that nothing appears after the contract is signed.
Import and export team
Wants to know where the cargo is without calling four parties, and the full document set in hand when the counterparty asks.
Finance
Wants an invoice that matches the approved rate line for line, downloadable as XML or PDF per shipment.
Cargo we price case by case
We carry all of the below, but the rate and the routing are worked out per shipment instead of taken off a tariff. Talk to us before you commit a selling price.
