How to Import from China to Vietnam via DDP: A Stress-Free Logistics Guide for 2026

Why DDP is the Game-Changer for Your China-Vietnam Supply Chain

Importing goods from China to Vietnam is a massive opportunity, but let’s be honest: customs clearance and unpredictable import duties can be a nightmare. If you’ve ever had a shipment stuck at the Lang Son border or received a surprise tax bill in Ho Chi Minh City, you know that traditional shipping (CIF or FOB) puts all the risk on your shoulders.



That’s where DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) comes in. At STU Supply Chain, we’ve perfected this route to make cross-border trade as simple as local delivery.

What Exactly is DDP Shipping?

In simple terms, DDP means the seller (or their forwarder) handles everything. From the moment your goods leave the factory in Shenzhen or Guangzhou until they arrive at your warehouse in Vietnam, we take care of:

  • Export documents in China.

  • International freight (Truck, Sea, or Air).

  • Import customs clearance in Vietnam.

  • Payment of all duties and VAT.

  • Last-mile delivery to your door.

3 Reasons Why Smart Importers Choose DDP with STU

1. No Hidden Costs (All-in Pricing)

With DDP, you get a single quote. You don't have to worry about fluctuating exchange rates or hidden administrative fees at the Vietnamese port. You know your profit margins from day one.

2. Specialized Knowledge of "Form E"

To minimize costs, we leverage the ASEAN-China Free Trade Area agreements. Our team ensures all documentation, including Form E, is handled correctly to optimize duty exemptions where applicable.

3. Speed Through the Border

The China-Vietnam land border can be congested. STU Supply Chain utilizes a dedicated fleet and established customs channels at Huu Nghi / Pingxiang, ensuring your cargo keeps moving while others are stuck in line.

Road, Sea, or Air? Which One is Right for You?

Case Study: Solving a Clearance Crisis

Last month, a client was struggling with a shipment of industrial spare parts stuck at customs due to incorrect HS Code classification. STU Supply Chain stepped in, re-filed the DDP paperwork, handled the tax adjustment, and delivered the cargo to their factory in Binh Duong within 48 hours.

That is the STU advantage: We solve problems so you can focus on sales.

B/L or BOL   The Bill of Lading is the official shipping document.  The possessor of this will be the owner of the goods but it will not be released to the buyer until all costs have been paid. If the buyer does not possess the B/L then the goods cannot be delivered or released to him. BAF Bunker...
