China+1: add Vietnam to your supply base without the trial and error

Tariffs, single-country risk and customer requirements push many buyers to add a second origin. We map Vietnamese capacity for your products, qualify factories, run pilot orders alongside your current supplier and scale what works.

The challenge

Why diversification stalls

  • 01

    Unknown capacity

    It is hard to tell from abroad which Vietnamese factories really make your product, and at what scale and quality.

  • 02

    Origin rules

    Moving assembly alone may not change the country of origin. Duty savings depend on where materials come from and how goods are processed.

  • 03

    Risk to current supply

    Switching too fast puts your existing supply at risk; switching too slowly means paying the tariffs for another year.

What is included

Scope of work

  • Feasibility study

    Which parts of your range Vietnam can make well, at what cost, and where the gaps are.

  • Landed-cost comparison

    Factory price, freight, duties under the applicable trade agreements and lead time, compared with your current origin.

  • Origin assessment

    A practical check of material sourcing and processing against the rules of origin for your import market.

  • Factory qualification

    Search, audits and capability tests for the shortlisted factories.

  • Pilot orders

    Small first orders run in parallel to your current supply, with full inspection and a lessons-learned review.

  • Ramp-up plan

    Volumes moved step by step, with second sources and quality gates agreed in advance.

A good fit if you

  • Pay tariffs or face risk from relying on one country
  • Have customers asking for a second origin

  • Prefer a phased move that protects current supply

Questions

Frequently asked

Will moving to Vietnam always cut duties?

Not automatically. The saving depends on your import market, the trade agreement and whether the goods meet its rules of origin. We assess this before you commit, and say so if the numbers do not work.

Can Vietnamese factories match our current quality?

For many categories, yes; for some, capacity is still limited. The feasibility study tells you which, before you spend on tooling or samples.

Do we need to stop buying from our current supplier?

No. Most clients keep their current supplier during the pilot and move volume only after the new source has proven itself.
