My mission is to connect 100 buyers with 100 Vietnamese factories each year so everyone can grow their business.
How can we work together to get you connected in Vietnam?
Below are products and services I offer.
I have been working in Vietnam 🇻🇳 for 14+ years advising start-ups and established businesses. I have learned the language and culture while building a network of over 100 factories. My expertise is in apparel 👚 but I also have experience with backpacks 🎒, hats 🧢, metals, wood and plastics.
Let's find the right factory fast - for you. 🏭 If you just want to learn, then read my books 📖 or complete my online course. If you are ready to contact factories then let's schedule a private consultation 🤝 which includes three factory introductions.
Learn more about my history either on Linkedin or my website sourcing-in-vietnam.com.
My questions for you are:
Is now a good time to enter Vietnam?
I offer a factory introduction service that includes a one hour consultation. I listen to your needs, answer your questions, give my advice and introduce you to three factories in Vietnam.
Every Wednesday I host a Zoom webinar where I share my most common tips and tricks as well as answer your question in real time.

No it is not. The main reason is that there is not much difference in labor costs between Vietnam and China. The second reason is that Vietnam pays more for raw materials than China pays.
Majority do. At least the owners, sales staff and merchandisers do. That being said there are still miscommunications so be extra careful in your spoken and written communications.
In general no.
Vietnam does have several free trade agreements in place.
To answer this question accurately we need to specify the country and HS Code.
Every product is assigned an HS Code and each HS Code has a unique duty rate.
