Why Choose Truong Thanh Logistics’ International Purchasing Service?

“Order” is an English term meaning “to request something.” As e-commerce has grown increasingly popular, Vietnamese consumers have adopted this term more frequently. In general usage, “order” refers to placing a purchase or buying internationally.

The internet and online payment technologies have become more advanced and streamlined, making shopping and transferring funds easier and faster than ever. As a result, market demand continues to rise.

Leveraging our credibility and trading experience, Truong Thanh Logistics can easily purchase products from anywhere in the world.

What challenges do customers in Vietnam face when ordering directly?

In Vietnam, international card payments are not yet widely used. Furthermore, communicating with foreign suppliers requires proficiency in international languages.

Additionally, customs procedures and complex documentation are mandatory when shipping goods to Vietnam. Transporting certain specific products can also be costly.

To address these challenges, Truong Thanh Logistics introduced our international purchasing assistance service. We act as your agent, handling transactions with overseas suppliers on your behalf.

This service supports you through all the above steps and procedures, allowing you to receive goods directly with minimal effort.

Advantages of Using Truong Thanh Logistics’ Purchasing Service

1. No need for a foreign credit card

2. Competitive shipping rates
   When buying directly from international websites, customers often face high costs, including shipping and customs declaration fees. These expenses can be significant for individual purchases.

   By consolidating multiple orders, our service reduces shipping costs. Truong Thanh Logistics offers transparent, dedicated, and fair pricing for international purchasing and delivery services.

1. Market-savvy specialists

In this article, let Truong Thanh Logistics guide you through sea transport, its procedural workflow, and how to select the most trustworthy and quality service provider.

1. What is Sea Transport?

Sea transport is the human practice of utilizing coastal infrastructure and facilities, and employing vessels like ships and boats, to move goods from one location to another.

Currently, almost all coastal nations are leveraging this form of cargo movement. Even some landlocked countries use transshipment methods to bring goods to the nearest seaports for international shipping.

As one of the earliest forms of transportation, the role of sea transport has never diminished. Moreover, with the explosive growth of the global economy, an increasing number of businesses are using this method to develop their trade of goods.

2. Advantages and Disadvantages of Sea Transport

2.1. Advantages of Sea Transport

Using maritime routes for cargo movement offers many prominent advantages, such as:

• Diverse Cargo Types:В Virtually any type of commodity can be transported via sea transport.

• Large Volume and Weight Capacity:В Utilizing vessels allows for the movement of immensely large quantities of cargo. Furthermore, oversized and heavyweight items like automobiles, aircraft, and industrial machinery can also be easily handled by sea transport.

• Cost-Effectiveness:В For the same quantity and volume of goods, the cost of sea transport is significantly lower than road, air, or other modes of transport.

• Cargo Safety:В With sea transport, concerns about collisions or “traffic accidents” are minimal. This does not mean they are impossible, but such risks are very rare.

2.2. Disadvantages of Sea Transport

Alongside its advantages, sea transport also has some drawbacks to consider:

• Long transit times

• Requires integration with other transport modes for final delivery

• Slow vessel speed, dependent on natural conditions

3. Procedures for Sea Transport

3.1. Process Steps

To ship any consignment via sea transport, enterprises should contact a professional and reputable logistics firm. The shipping process will then be carried out as follows:

• Step 1:В Negotiate and sign the contract

• Step 2:В Apply for an export license (Applies to international sea transport)

• Step 3:В Place a booking and procure an empty container

• Step 4:В Prepare and inspect export goods

• Step 5:В Purchase insurance for the shipment

• Step 6:В Execute customs clearance procedures

• Step 7:В Deliver the goods to the vessel

• Step 8:В Settle freight charges and related costs

• Step 9:В Goods are dispatched to the consignee’s address after port arrival and unloading.

3.2. Required Documentation for Sea Transport

To ensure the safe and smooth movement of goods, relevant documentation for the consignment is indispensable. Specifically, in sea transport, the required documents include:

Transport Documents:

• Bill of Lading (B/L):В A transport document issued upon the goods being loaded onto the vessel, confirming the completion of the loading process.

• Shipping Order (S/O):В Order to load the goods onto the vessel.

• Cargo Manifest:В Details specific information about the cargo type, quantity, and destination of the shipment.

• Dock Receipt:В A receipt acknowledging the goods have been received at the dock for loading.

• Tally Sheet:В A control slip for monitoring the quantity of goods during transport.

• Stowage Plan:В A diagram depicting the stowage location of the cargo on the vessel. This plan enables optimal control of the consignment, preventing misplacement.

Customs Documents:

• Certificate of Origin (C/O)

• Valid Cargo Insurance Policy/Certificate

• Packing List, etc.

1. Customs Procedures for Imports

Below are the steps required for handling customs procedures for imports. However, there may be some differences in the process for specific types of goods or products.

Để nắm bắt chính xác, chi tiết các công việc cần làm, bạn có thể tìm hiểu trước một cách kỹ càng, liên hệ với cơ quan hải quan hoặc nhờ sự tư vấn của Trường Thành Logistics.  

To get precise and detailed information on the necessary tasks, you can conduct thorough research beforehand, contact the customs authority, or seek advice from TrЖ°б»ќng ThГ nh Logistics.

1.1. Preparation: Gather the following documents for customs declaration:

• Import permit (if the goods require a license for import)
• Commercial Invoice
• Packing List
• Bill of Lading
• Certificate of Origin (C/O)
• Fumigation Certificate and Phytosanitary Certificate (if applicable)
• Certificate of Analysis (C/A)
• Certificate of Quality (C/Q) (if applicable)

1.2. The Process

Step 1: Declare Import Information (IDA) The customs declarant uses the IDA operation to declare import information before registering the customs declaration form.

After all 133 fields on the IDA screen are filled, the declarant sends the data to the VNACCS system. The system automatically assigns a number, populates fields related to tax rates and corresponding names (for example: the name of the importing country corresponding to the country code, the name of the importing company corresponding to the enterprise code, etc.), and automatically calculates values related to customs value and taxes.

The system then sends a response back to the declarant on the declaration registration screen (IDC). Once the system assigns a number, the IDA import information form is saved on the VNACCS system.

Step 2: Register the Import Declaration Form (IDC) Upon receiving the IDC screen from the system, the customs declarant checks the declared information and the automatically populated and calculated data. If the information is confirmed to be accurate, it is sent to the system to register the declaration.

If, after checking, the declarant finds that the information is inaccurate and needs to be amended, they must use the IDB operation to recall the IDA import information screen, make the necessary corrections, and follow the same steps as above.

Step 3: Check Conditions for Declaration Registration Before allowing a declaration to be registered, the system automatically checks the list of enterprises ineligible for declaration registration (e.g., businesses with overdue debts over 90 days, those that are temporarily suspended, dissolved, or bankrupt).

If the enterprise is on the aforementioned list, the declaration cannot be registered, and the system will notify the customs declarant. If the conditions are met, the enterprise can proceed to the next steps.

Step 4: Channeling, Inspection, and Clearance Once the declaration is registered, the system automatically assigns it to one of three channels: Green, Yellow, or Red.

For declarations in the Green Channel:

• If the tax payable is zero: The system automatically grants customs clearance (expected to take 3 seconds) and issues an “Imported Goods Customs Clearance Decision” to the declarant.
• If the tax payable is not zero:
  • If the tax is declared to be paid by a credit limit or via a guarantee (general or specific): The system automatically checks the declared information related to the limit or guarantee. If the amount is greater than or equal to the tax payable, the system will issue a “Document Noting Tax Payable” and an “Imported Goods Customs Clearance Decision” to the declarant. If the amount is less than the tax payable, the system will report an error.
  • If tax is declared to be paid immediately (bank transfer, cash at the customs office, etc.): The system issues a “Document Noting Tax Payable” to the declarant. Once the customs declarant has paid the taxes, fees, and charges, and the VNACCS system has received the payment information, the system issues a “Goods Customs Clearance Decision.” At the end of the day, the VNACCS system compiles all cleared Green Channel declarations and transfers them to the VCIS system.

For declarations in the Yellow and Red Channels: The system transfers the data of Yellow and Red Channel declarations online from VNACCS to VCIS. After the customs authority performs checks and processes the declaration on the VCIS system screen, using CKO or CEA operations to complete or provide guidance, the customs declarant must take the following steps:

• Receive the system’s response regarding the channeling result, location, and type/level of physical inspection of the goods.
• Submit the paper documents for the customs authority to conduct a detailed review; prepare the goods for physical inspection.
• Fulfill all tax and fee obligations (if any).

Step 5: Amending and Supplementing Declarations During Clearance The system allows for amendments and supplements to the declaration from the time it is registered until the goods are cleared.

To perform an amendment or supplement during clearance, the customs declarant uses the IDD operation to recall the full import declaration information screen (IDA) for the first amendment, or the most recent amended import information (IDA01) for the second amendment or subsequent ones.

2. Customs Procedures for Exports

2.1. An Overview of Export Customs Procedures

The steps for export customs procedures are quite similar to those for imports. To proceed with customs formalities for exports, businesses need to follow the steps below.

2.2. The Process

Step 1: Declare Export Information (EDA) The customs declarant uses the EDA operation to declare export information before registering the export declaration form.

After all 109 fields on the EDA screen are filled, the declarant sends the data to the VNACCS system. The system automatically assigns a number, populates fields related to tax rates and corresponding names (for example: the name of the destination country corresponding to the country code, the name of the exporting company corresponding to the enterprise code, etc.), and automatically calculates values related to customs value and taxes.

The system then sends a response back to the declarant on the declaration registration screen (EDC). Once the system assigns a number, the EDA export information form is saved on the VNACCS system.

Step 2: Register the Export Declaration Form (EDC) Upon receiving the EDC screen from the system, the customs declarant checks the declared information and the automatically populated and calculated data. If the information is confirmed to be accurate, it is sent to the system to register the declaration.

If, after checking, the declarant finds that the information is inaccurate and needs to be amended, they must use the EDB operation to recall the EDA export information screen, make the necessary corrections, and follow the same steps as above.

Step 3: Check Conditions for Declaration Registration Before allowing a declaration to be registered, the system automatically checks the list of enterprises ineligible for declaration registration (e.g., businesses with overdue debts over 90 days, those that are temporarily suspended, dissolved, or bankrupt).

If the enterprise is on the aforementioned list, the declaration cannot be registered, and the system will notify the customs declarant.

Step 4: Channeling, Inspection, and Clearance Once the declaration is registered, the system automatically assigns it to one of three channels: Green, Yellow, or Red.

For declarations in the Green Channel:

• If the tax payable is zero: The system automatically grants customs clearance (expected to take 3 seconds) and issues a “Goods Customs Clearance Decision” to the declarant.
• If the tax payable is not zero:
  • If the tax is declared to be paid by a credit limit or via a guarantee (general or specific): The system automatically checks the declared information related to the limit or guarantee. If the amount is greater than or equal to the tax payable, the system will issue a “Document Noting Tax Payable” and a “Goods Customs Clearance Decision” to the declarant. If the amount is less than the tax payable, the system will report an error.
  • If tax is declared to be paid immediately (bank transfer, cash at the customs office, etc.): The system issues a “Document Noting Tax Payable” to the declarant. Once the customs declarant has paid the taxes and fees and the VNACCS system has received the payment information, the system issues a “Goods Customs Clearance Decision.” At the end of the day, the system compiles all cleared Green Channel declarations and transfers them to VCIS.

For declarations in the Yellow and Red Channels: The system transfers the data of Yellow and Red Channel declarations online from VNACCS to VCIS. The customs authority will then check and process the declaration on the VCIS system screen, using CKO or CEE operations to proceed or inform the declarant of the next steps. The customs declarant will then:

• Receive the system’s response regarding the channeling result, location, and type/level of physical inspection of the goods.
• Submit paper documents for the customs authority to conduct a detailed review; prepare the goods for physical inspection.
• Fulfill all tax and fee obligations (if any).

Step 5: Amending and Supplementing Declarations During Clearance Amending and supplementing the declaration can be done from the time it is registered until the goods are cleared. To perform this, the customs declarant uses the EDD operation to recall the export declaration information (EDA) for the first amendment, or the most recent amended export information (EDA01) for the second amendment or subsequent ones.

Thus, it’s clear that whether a business is handling customs procedures for import or export, they need a solid grasp of customs regulations.

1. International Cargo Insurance Services

International cargo insurance is a crucial component of import and export operations.

So, what is international cargo insurance? What are the steps and required documents for the claim process when an insured event occurs?

To find out more, please read the detailed advice from Truong Thanh Logistics below.

2. What Is International Cargo Insurance?

What is insurance? Insurance is a financial commitment between an insurer and an insured party.

The insurance policy is valid for a specific period, during which the insured is responsible for paying a sum of money (the premium) to the insurer under the agreed-upon conditions. In turn, the insurer is responsible for compensating the insured for losses to the insured object caused by risks specified in the agreement (the insured event).

What is cargo insurance? Cargo insurance is a compensation agreement between an insurer and an insured party.

When a cargo insurance agreement is reached, the insurer will compensate the insured for loss or damage to the goods during transit, provided that the loss or damage is caused by risks specified in the insurance contract. To be covered, the insured must pay a fee known as the insurance premium.

Cargo insurance helps protect against and minimize damage caused by risks during the transportation of goods, such as damage, fire, floods, storms, collisions, and other unexpected events.

Cargo insurance must be purchased before any risks occur, typically before the goods are shipped.

What is international cargo insurance? International cargo insurance, or insurance for goods in international trade, is a type of insurance where the insurance provider commits to compensating for losses to the insured goods during international transport.

These losses are typically caused by one or more agreed-upon and confirmed risks. The insured party is obligated to pay a premium to the insurer.

The insured object of international cargo insurance is a tangible product. The modes of transport covered by international cargo insurance include:

• Railway transport
• Road transport
• Sea transport
• Air transport

3. What Are the Conditions for International Cargo Insurance?

Cargo insurance comes in various types, depending on the condition of the goods, their destination, and the mode of transport.

The basic conditions for international cargo insurance are:

Standard Conditions:

• Institute Cargo Clauses (ICC) A
• Institute Cargo Clauses (ICC) B
• Institute Cargo Clauses (ICC) C

Special Conditions:

• War Risks
• Strikes, Riots, and Civil Commotions

4. The Role of International Cargo Insurance

International cargo insurance is an indispensable part of import and export activities, playing a significant role in several ways:

A Companion for Your Cargo: International goods must travel a long way from origin to destination. The owner cannot always accompany the goods to supervise and ensure their safety. Therefore, a “companion” is needed for the crates and containers throughout the journey to share the burden and risk of unforeseen incidents.

Sharing the Burden of Risk: The risk of loss or damage to goods due to natural disasters or accidents—such as stranding, collision, sinking, fire, theft, piracy, storms, cyclones, and tsunamis—is unpredictable. Therefore, to share the burden and limit damage when risks occur, goods should be insured throughout their journey.

Peace of Mind for the Shipper: Transport carriers are only responsible for protecting goods within a limited scope. To minimize all potential damage to goods in unexpected situations, the cargo owner should have cargo insurance.

A Global Trend: Cargo insurance has a long history. Participating in cargo insurance has also become an unwritten rule in foreign trade activities worldwide.

5. What Is the Claim Process for Sea Freight Loss?

Some Basic Concepts:

• The policyholder is the seller of the goods.
• The beneficiary is the buyer at the port of destination.
• The relevant Incoterms for sea transport insurance are CIP and CIF.
• The insurance conditions are ICC A, B, or C.
• The insurance premium is approximately 0.06% to 0.075% of the insured value.
• The insured value can be the FOB or CIF price.
• All regulations related to liability and exemption clauses are specified in the Institute Cargo Clauses (ICC) 2009.

The Claim Process:

1. The insured party notifies the policyholder of the cargo loss.
2. The policyholder sends a notice of loss to the insurer.
3. The insurer proceeds with a survey and determines the extent of the loss if necessary. The survey is conducted immediately after the consignee reports the cargo loss. The survey is carried out independently but is supervised by the insured party.
4. The insured party signs a Power of Attorney (POA) for the policyholder to initiate the claim procedures.
5. The policyholder (the authorized person) submits the required documents to claim for the cargo insurance loss. These documents include:
   • Power of Attorney from the insured to the policyholder.
   • Notice of cargo insurance loss (using the insurer’s form).
   • Cargo insurance claim form (using the insurer’s form), accompanied by a detailed list of the lost or damaged items.
   • The invoice and packing list for the shipment with the damaged items.
   • The ocean Bill of Lading for the shipment with the damaged items.

After the cargo has been surveyed and the amount to be compensated has been determined, the insurance company sends a notice of compensation and release of liability to the policyholder. This notice specifies the amount of compensation. The insurance company also sends other accompanying documents, such as:

• VAT invoice
• Debit note
• Endorsement note
• Declaration for export

For any business engaged in import and export, cargo insurance is a top priority. At Truong Thanh Logistics, we provide cargo insurance for both export and import shipments, ensuring all of your business requirements are met.

To gain a deeper understanding of entrusted import and export services, we invite businesses and customers to read the following article from Truong Thanh Logistics.

1. What Is Entrusted Import and Export?

Entrusted import and export comprises two main activities: entrusted export and entrusted import. A business can use one of these services or both simultaneously.

Entrusted import and export is an arrangement where a business, organization, or legal entity hires or partners with a licensed import/export service provider. This service provider, on behalf of or authorized by your business, will carry out the import or export of goods as per the agreement.

Entrusted import (or import entrustment) is when a business partners with or uses a third-party company (a specialized entrusted import/export firm) as its representative to handle the importation of products or goods.

Similarly, entrusted export (or export entrustment) is when a business partners with or uses a third-party company (a specialized entrusted import/export firm) as its representative to handle the export of its products or goods to a foreign partner.

2. Legal Basis of Entrusted Import and Export Services

Domestic individuals and organizations entrusting import procedures to another organization must ensure that the entrusted organization meets the requirements for a customs declarant, as stipulated in Article 5 of Decree 08/2015/ND-CP dated January 21, 2015, which was amended and supplemented by Clause 3, Article 1 of Decree 59/2018/ND-CP dated April 20, 2018, of the Government.

Customs procedures are to be carried out in accordance with Circular 38/2015/TT-BTC dated March 25, 2015, and Circular 39/2018/TT-BTC dated April 20, 2018, of the Ministry of Finance.

3. Why Do Businesses Need Entrusted Import and Export Services?

There are many reasons why businesses may not directly handle import and export activities under their own name. The most common reasons include a lack of personnel, experience, or understanding of legal procedures and requirements.

Here are the specific reasons that explain this demand:

3.1. Individuals Lacking Legal Capacity

With the development of global trade, the demand for international commerce is increasing. However, if you are an individual and not a business with legal capacity, you cannot directly buy from or enter into contracts with foreign partners.

In this situation, you will need the support of a specialized entrusted import/export service provider to handle the import or export of your goods.

3.2. Newly Established Companies

Some newly established companies may face difficulties in international trade due to unfamiliarity with procedures, tariffs, and other regulations. For their first shipments, partnering with an entrusted import/export service provider is a safe option that can serve as a valuable learning experience.

3.3. New or Special Goods

Some businesses have a certain level of knowledge in international trade. However, when they import or export new or special goods for the first time, they may encounter difficulties with customs clearance.

In this case, hiring an entrusted import service provider is the most suitable choice. These companies often have more experience and can resolve issues more quickly.

3.4. Lack of Trust in International Suppliers

Entrusted import and export services are also well-developed in other countries. Therefore, your foreign partners could potentially assist your business with these activities.

However, relying on a foreign firm may not feel as secure as working with a Vietnamese one. The reason is simple: a service provider in Vietnam will have a better understanding of local laws and the market, and can support your business at any time.

4. Benefits of Using Entrusted Import & Export Services

By using entrusted import and export services, businesses can save significant time, effort, and money. The specific benefits provided by these service companies include:

• The customer does not need to handle the import or export under their own name.
• You avoid issues related to customs procedures, taxes, and other regulations.
• The service is all-inclusive, with a single, one-time payment and no hidden costs.
• You can conduct international transactions using only a standard VAT invoice.
• The service is backed by a commitment to credibility, responsibility, and confidentiality.
• Entrustment fees are reasonable and tailored to each type of goods.

5. Entrusted Import & Export Process

The process for entrusting the import or export of a specific item is as follows:

Step 1: Find a Partner If you want to import, identify the goods and a reputable supplier. You can research the market, read reviews, or seek advice from a specialized entrusted import/export company. If you want to export, you need to find a partner or customer who wants to use your products.

Step 2: Thoroughly Inspect the Goods This step ensures that your goods are not prohibited or illegal items.

Step 3: Proceed with the Commercial Contract

Step 4: Choose a Reputable Entrusted Import/Export Company

Step 5: Sign the Contract and Carry Out Necessary Import/Export Procedures

Step 6: Address Any Issues Related to the Goods (if any)

Step 7: Transport the Goods to Your Warehouse

6. Basic Principles of Entrusted Import & Export

To ensure that entrusted import and export activities are legal and run smoothly, both the entrusting and entrusted companies must adhere to the following principles:

• Always inspect the products carefully and thoroughly check whether the goods are prohibited from import or export.
• Be aware of the necessary documents and procedures for obtaining import/export licenses.
• Once the complete set of shipping documents is available, the entrusted party is responsible for carrying out current import customs procedures.
• Verify the capacity and familiarity of the entrusted company with entrusted import procedures.
• Sign a consignment agreement for the imported goods.

7. Legal Considerations for Entrusted Imports

7.1. On the Entrusted Import/Export Contract

The entrusted import contract is a service agreement. Therefore, the contract will contain key terms related to the service scope, costs, rights and obligations of the parties, and payment.

The entrusted import/export contract must align with the underlying import/export contract to prevent potential disputes or complications.

The determination of the commission fee in this contract also needs to be clearly defined. Typically, the commission amount is determined by the value of the consignment and the specific goods.

Furthermore, the obligations of each party should be clearly stated in the contract.

7.2. Responsibilities of the Entrusted Business

• Negotiate and sign the international trade contract with the foreign seller.
• Carry out all necessary procedures for importing or exporting the products.
• Handle payments to international suppliers.
• The service provider is referred to as the consignee. For manufactured goods, they must ensure the preparation of paperwork, declaration, and payment of various taxes such as import duties, special consumption tax, and VAT on imported goods (based on the tax notice from the customs authority).
• Maintain all import/export paperwork, including:
  • Consignment transactions
  • Commercial Contract negotiated with the foreign party
  • Commercial Invoice issued by the seller
  • Packing List issued by the seller
  • Customs declarations, tax receipts (if any), and Bill of Lading issued by the carrier (ship, airplane, etc.).

When returning the imported goods to the owner (the consignor), the consignee must issue a VAT invoice for the consignment. The invoice must clearly state the total payment to the consignor, which includes the purchase price (on the commercial invoice), amounts, import duties, special consumption tax, and VAT on imported goods (according to the customs tax notice). This entrusted import invoice is used to calculate the consignee’s production tax and the consignor’s input tax.

7.3. Responsibilities of the Entrusting Business

• Provide the consignee with full details on the product type, standards, dimensions, etc.
• Negotiate an agreement with the international partner in collaboration with the entrusted business.
• Transfer payment for the goods to the entrusted business, which will then pay the supplier.
• Arrange for the transportation of goods.
• Pay the insurance fee for the entrusted operation.

8. Risks in the Entrusted Import & Export Process

The majority of risks in the entrusted import and export process fall on the service provider. These are the entities that act on behalf of the importer, bearing all legal responsibility when importing or exporting goods.

Therefore, if any legal risks arise during the import/export process, the entrusted service provider will be fully responsible.
