Vietnam sourcing for Australian businesses
Vietnam has grown as a manufacturing base for furniture, textiles, footwear and general assembly, often as an alternative or complement to China. We vet Vietnamese manufacturers, manage production and quality control, and arrange freight into Australia.
What Vietnam is strong at
- Furniture and wood products
- Textiles, apparel and footwear
- General assembly and light manufacturing
- Categories where buyers are diversifying away from a single-country supply base
Where it differs from sourcing in China
Vietnam's manufacturing base is smaller and more concentrated by category, so factory options can be more limited outside its core strengths. Minimum order quantities are sometimes higher for smaller or newer factories, and lead times can vary more between suppliers, which makes vetting capacity and track record important.
Verification before commitment
We check business registration, visit or arrange third-party visits to production sites where practical, and confirm the factory can actually produce your specification at your volume rather than subcontracting it without disclosure.
Quality control and freight
Pre-production samples, in-line checks during the run, and a pre-shipment inspection are arranged before dispatch. Freight typically moves by sea from Ho Chi Minh City or Hai Phong, with transit times into Australian ports generally comparable to freight from southern China.
Getting started
Send your specification, target volume and budget. We shortlist verified Vietnamese manufacturers, collect comparable quotes, and give you a landed cost in AUD before you commit to a deposit.
What this costs
Costs depend on category and volume. Furniture and textiles often carry different minimum order quantities and freight profiles to general goods, which we factor into the landed cost we quote.
