Hello. I am looking to speak to an agent that is familiar with import, export from South Africa based in HCMC. There is a small business oppurtunity but only looking to start small then see from there. Any advice appreciated.  Thanks

Asian Tigers are good Import agents in Vietnam and Asia generally . There is an American guy there called Matt who has been in the job for a number of years . There seem to be some hard and strange rules and regulations and then also reality . As long as you do what customs ask and stay honest, and legal, then there doesn't seem to be a problem . He's probably the best guy to email and then speak to . He manages the whole of Vietnam so he gets about a bit . email him at matt.king@asiantigers-vietnam.com They are recommended by good shipping agents in Australia and I've used them and recommend them for personal belongings . Commercial and personal shipping are totally divided in Australia to the extent that they can't ship both but I'm not sure how import goes . Either way Matt will be able to help or put you on to the right guy.
