Your Step-by-Step Guide to Shipping from Vietnam

Vietnam sea freight guide procedures are the deciding factor in whether your bulk shipment of world-famous Vietnamese rice or Robusta coffee makes it to your warehouse on time or gets stuck in a valuation dispute at the Manila North Harbor. Navigating the maritime route between Haiphong and the Philippines requires more than just a container; you need a partner who understands the strict ATIGA compliance auditing required to protect your margins. In addition to this, our team provides a technical audit of your packing lists against current BOC valuation standards before the ship even leaves Vietnam. This proactive oversight keeps your LCL consolidation moving smoothly through the port, effectively shielding your Philippines-based business from local congestion and unexpected storage fees.

This guide provides the official instructions for using our shipping service from Vietnam to the Philippines. Following this process carefully is essential for ensuring your cargo is correctly documented, tracked, and cleared through customs.

Step 1: Obtain Your HBK Customer ID

A unique Customer ID is required for all clients to link shipments to your account. If you do not yet have an account, you must register first.

Please save your Customer ID number, as it is necessary for all future shipments.

Step 2: Instruct Your Supplier in Vietnam

This is the most critical part of the process. You must provide your supplier in Vietnam with two pieces of information:

Your unique HBK Customer ID Number
The specific link for your Vietnam Supplier > http://vietsea.hbkglobaltrading.com
(Not accessible in Philippines as it is only accessible in Vietnam so no need to attempt and access it.)

That's it!

How it works?

Important Rules for Every Vietnam Shipment

To ensure a smooth process and avoid any loss or delay, please adhere to these guidelines:

✔ Use Barcode Labels Only: Insist that your supplier uses our official online form. Do not allow them to write on the boxes by hand. Manually labeled boxes can be lost or misrouted in our logistics system.
✔ Require Photo Proof: For your security, ask your supplier to send you a clear photo of your boxes with the barcode labels properly attached before they are dispatched. This is your proof of correct labeling.
✔ Follow for All Orders: Use this exact process for every order, whether it's with a new supplier or a repeat partner.

HBK Global Trading is not responsible for any loss of cargo due to unmarked or improperly labeled boxes.
