Questions before sending your file
Send your shipment details and our team will return a practical, easy-to-understand plan.
Contact our team01What should I send for a document review?
Send the invoice, packing list, contract, cargo description and planned route. Our team will identify any missing documents.
02Can VILA SANMYSHI advise on HS codes?
Yes. We review the cargo information, relevant policy and suitable HS code before the declaration is filed.
03Can customs and cross-border transport be combined?
Yes. The plan is prepared around the cargo, pickup and delivery points, vehicle needs and shipment timeline.
04How is shipment progress reported?
A single contact tracks the documents, vehicle, border status and final delivery for each shipment.
05What information helps prepare an accurate quote?
Share pickup and delivery locations, product details, package count, weight, packed dimensions and the planned shipping date. Include delivery terms, loading needs, fragile items or storage requirements so the service scope can be defined.
06Does every shipment use the same document checklist?
No. Documents depend on the goods, transport mode and applicable procedures. Prepare the invoice and packing list, then check transport, origin, permit and specialist inspection requirements before dispatch.Vietnam Trade Information Portal
07How do I calculate shipment volume in CBM?
CBM means cubic metres: length × width × height in metres × the number of identical packages. Ten 60 × 40 × 50 cm cartons total 1.2 m³. Include packaging or pallets and calculate differing sizes separately before adding them. CBM is not a freight quote.
08Should FOB or CIF be used for a road shipment?
FOB and CIF belong to the sea and inland waterway group. For road transport, select an any-mode rule and agree responsibilities, the named location and the Incoterms version.ICC Digital Library
09Do Incoterms replace the sales contract?
No. Incoterms allocate certain delivery obligations, costs and risks; they do not determine payment timing or transfer of ownership. Those matters need separate agreement in the sales contract.International Chamber of Commerce
