Which ports do freight forwarders in Vietnam ship through?

The main gateways are Cat Lai (Ho Chi Minh City) and the deep-water Cai Mep–Thi Vai port near HCMC, which handles direct sailings to the US and Europe. In the north, Hai Phong (Lach Huyen) serves Hanoi and the industrial provinces. Air freight moves through Tan Son Nhat (SGN) and Noi Bai (HAN).

How long does ocean shipping from Vietnam to the US or Europe take?

Cai Mep to the US West Coast typically runs 18–25 days and to the US East Coast 30–40 days; Vietnam to North Europe is roughly 30–35 days. Air freight to either market is 3–6 days. Forwarders quote exact schedules against your cargo and cut-off dates.

Can Vietnam forwarders handle "China+1" cross-border moves?

Yes. As manufacturing shifts from China into Vietnam, many forwarders offer cross-border trucking and rail between southern China and northern Vietnam, plus consolidation for companies dual-sourcing across both countries.
