Post new topic

Hi,
I am Henry Doan
I'm living in US. im currently running an apparel line and i'm looking for a full package manufacturer in Vietnam that takes small order of producing pants ( 100-300 pieces). Does anyone here have experience how it works? i looked up many of manufacturers in Vietnam but most of them only produce big order and also i dont know how the import or export process is going to be.
so i would love to hear if any one has some tips
Thank you!

Henry, I'm an American-Vietnamese who now lives in Vietnam and works in this industry.              I'm familiar with the entire process - from identifying fabric wholesalers to getting it on the ground in the U.S.  Note that Vietnam and the US currently do not have a trade agreement in place, so you're looking at about 16% tacked on to the value of goods imported to the US.  With your low order quantity, your cost per unit increases substantially from shipping costs.  I assume your amounts are based on a fixed budget -- do you have an idea on how much it will cost to produce your pants here?  I can help you on the ground, for a fee and as long as you can increase your minimum order quantity to about 800.  Send me a private message if you're interested.

I'm in a similar situation.  I sent you a PM.  Hopefully you can help.  Thanks.

Hello Doan,

It is easy. I know some manufactures which can produce with small amount.

About the export with small amount, just use Vietnam Post for this, just don't mention anything about the company in USA

That's all
