Export documents and origin: claim the duty savings you are entitled to
Vietnam's trade agreements can cut import duties to zero, but only with the right certificate and goods that meet the rules of origin. We check origin, prepare the documents and make sure your shipment clears without surprises.

The challenge
Where import costs leak
- 01
Duty paid that need not be
Without a valid certificate of origin, goods eligible for preferential duty pay the full rate.
- 02
Documents that do not match
Invoice, packing list and bill of lading with different quantities or descriptions hold the cargo at customs.
- 03
Origin claims that fail audits
A certificate issued without checking material origin can be rejected later, with back-duty to pay.

Questions
Frequently asked
Which certificate do we need?
It depends on your import market and the agreement used. Our Global Markets pages list the agreements and certificate forms for each country; we confirm the right one for your shipment.
Can you guarantee preferential duty?
No one can guarantee it, because customs in your country decides. We check the rules of origin before shipment and keep the evidence, which is what a successful claim needs.
Do you replace our customs broker?
No. We prepare export-side documents in Vietnam; import clearance in your country is done by your broker, with whom we coordinate.
