Official import from China

Determine an import plan based on product and supplier information, through to delivery arrangements and documentation for each shipment.

For businesses that already have a supplier or are preparing an order and need to determine the import tasks that require coordination.

Service scope

  • Receive information about the goods, intended use and import requirements to identify items that need to be reviewed.
  • Discuss the transaction parties, responsibilities of the supplier, the business and the party carrying out each task.
  • Define the scope of coordination: receiving goods, counting, transportation, documentation and delivery according to the agreed plan.
  • Compare quotation information with the actual shipment data; record applicable assumptions and conditions.
  • Agree on update milestones and the list of documents to be handed over before organizing the work.

What we need

  • Product images or links; materials, intended use and identifying specifications.
  • Quantity, estimated unit price, number of packages and packing specifications, if available.
  • Supplier information and goods collection location in China.
  • Delivery location in Vietnam, required delivery time and intended importer.
  • Requirements for documentation, inspection, packaging and tasks already completed independently.

Important notes

  • The ability to handle a shipment is confirmed after reviewing the product and scope of work.
  • Timing, costs and documentation depend on the specific arrangement; they do not apply universally to all goods.
  • Whether TBS performs the work directly or coordinates with partners must be clearly stated in the quotation or agreement.

Frequently asked questions

What should be provided if I already have a supplier?

Provide product information, the supplier's quotation if available, collection location, quantity and delivery destination. Clearly state which tasks the supplier has agreed to handle. TBS uses this data to discuss the required support scope and any missing information.

Which stages can TBS coordinate?

You can discuss needs for receiving goods, counting, transportation and documentation handling. The accepted tasks, responsible party and handover results will be confirmed for each shipment; the service list on the website does not replace that agreement.

How long is a quotation valid?

The validity period must be stated in the specific quotation. If the quantity, packaging, location or implementation time changes, ask the person in charge to reconfirm the scope and costs before shipping goods or making payment.

Which documents will be handed over?

The document list depends on the importing entity, transaction arrangement and goods. Before implementation, both parties need to confirm the document names, named party, handover copies and receipt timing, rather than assuming every shipment has the same set of documents.
