Why source from Vietnam

For labour-intensive categories such as garments, footwear, furniture and bags, Vietnamese factory labour typically costs 30–50% less than coastal China, while quality and export experience are comparable. For highly automated categories the gap is smaller, so buyers compare landed cost, not just unit price.

Vietnam is the world's second-largest exporter of apparel and footwear, a top-five furniture exporter and a fast-growing electronics assembly hub (smartphones, components, consumer electronics). Packaging, plastics, machinery parts, seafood, coffee and cashews are also major export categories.

Under EVFTA (EU), UKVFTA (UK), CPTPP (Japan, Canada, Australia, Mexico and others) and RCEP, most Vietnamese-origin goods enter with reduced or zero duty once rules of origin are met. Your supplier issues the certificate of origin; CANG guides list the documents per market.

Typical lead times on CANG are 30–60 days for production after sample approval. Sea freight adds roughly 25–35 days to Europe, 20–30 days to the US West Coast and 7–12 days within Asia.

Look for the Verified Manufacturer badge (business registration, tax code and factory ownership checked by CANG), certifications on file, buyer reviews from completed orders and, for larger orders, a third-party factory audit booked through the Inspection service.
