Supplier coordination
Confirm cargo readiness, pickup address, packaging, loading access and the exporter’s documentation responsibilities before arranging collection.
Sea freight, air freight and door delivery for commercial cargo. Connect your Vietnam supplier with your Australian warehouse through one coordinated freight plan.
BRF Logistics can coordinate factory pickup, Vietnam export handling, FCL or LCL booking, Australian customs clearance and final delivery through its partner network, subject to shipment assessment.

For importers sourcing furniture, textiles, machinery, building materials or industrial components, the shipping plan starts before cargo leaves the factory.
Confirm cargo readiness, pickup address, packaging, loading access and the exporter’s documentation responsibilities before arranging collection.
Match the shipment to a suitable port or airport, coordinate origin trucking and export clearance, and confirm booking conditions and cutoffs.
Coordinate destination customs and biosecurity processing with local partners, then schedule delivery after release and confirm unloading arrangements.
Compare the complete movement, including origin and destination charges, rather than choosing by the headline freight price alone.
A dedicated 20GP, 40GP or 40HQ container suits larger orders and cargo needing fewer handling stages. Confirm payload, dimensions, loading method and equipment availability.
Consolidation suits smaller commercial orders. Provide accurate carton or pallet dimensions and weight so the quote includes origin receiving, destination deconsolidation and delivery charges.
For urgent spare parts, samples and time-sensitive orders, assess air freight from Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi. Chargeable weight, airline acceptance and security requirements affect the quote.
Compare Vietnam–Australia FCL and LCL sea freight for cargo handling, container planning and arrival procedures.
Choose the export gateway around the supplier location, available sailing or flight, cargo characteristics and Australian destination.
| Origin area | Gateway to assess | Shipment planning |
|---|---|---|
| Ho Chi Minh City & southern industrial areas | Cat Lai / Cai Mep; Tan Son Nhat for air cargo | Supplier pickup, container loading or LCL warehouse receiving. The terminal depends on the booked service. |
| Hai Phong & northern industrial areas | Hai Phong / Lach Huyen; Noi Bai for air cargo | Assess northern supplier trucking distance, terminal cutoff and the available onward connection. |
| Da Nang & central Vietnam | Da Nang gateway or an alternative origin routing | Compare local export options with trucking or feeder connections where needed. |
Origin pickup and export services are arranged through local partners. No fixed departure frequency or direct sailing is assumed before booking.
The best arrival port is the one that works for the final delivery address, clearance plan and total landed logistics cost.
Assess Port Botany for ocean cargo and Sydney Airport for air shipments. Provide the delivery postcode and confirm whether the receiver can unload a container or pallet shipment.
Plan ocean arrival through the Port of Melbourne or air arrival through Melbourne Airport, with delivery to commercial warehouses and distribution sites subject to access.
Assess Port of Brisbane or Brisbane Airport for Queensland cargo. Include Gold Coast or regional delivery requirements when requesting the quote.
Assess Fremantle for Perth and Western Australia deliveries. Confirm local haulage, container return arrangements and any regional distance charges.
Assess available Port Adelaide or air routing alongside inland delivery costs. The routing may involve a connection depending on the service.
Provide the full address, business type and unloading facilities. Remote, residential or restricted-access locations may require a different vehicle or extra handling.

A booking-specific schedule is more useful than a single advertised transit time. BRF can assess the cargo-ready date against the required Australian delivery date.
Confirm the named origin and destination terminals, estimated departure and arrival, direct or transshipment routing and the carrier’s cutoff dates.
Allow for consolidation before departure and deconsolidation after arrival. Warehouse availability and release can affect the final delivery date.
Assess flight availability, export processing and arrival release separately. Inspection, documentation issues and delivery appointments can extend the total lead time.
Australian entry requirements depend on the goods and packaging. Confirm the importer, product description and documentary requirements with the destination broker.
Prepare a commercial invoice, detailed packing list and bill of lading or air waybill. Check that descriptions, quantities, values and weights are consistent.
Confirm who acts as exporter and provides export declarations and any product-specific permits or supporting documents through the Vietnam export partner.
Confirm importer details, tariff classification and customs valuation with the broker. Product labelling, permits and other controls may apply depending on the goods.
Confirm the required packaging declarations, timber packaging evidence and container cleanliness information. Biosecurity directions may require inspection or treatment.
Where preferential treatment is sought, ask the broker to check the applicable agreement, origin rules and acceptable supporting evidence. Dispatch from Vietnam alone does not establish qualifying origin.
Furniture, timber, food, plant materials, used equipment, batteries and other controlled cargo can require extra checks. Review requirements before confirming the booking.
Origin preparation guide: Vietnam Export Customs Clearance | Documents & Shipping Process.
Agree the commercial and operational responsibilities before collecting cargo. Door delivery needs a clear importer arrangement and a practical unloading plan.
Confirm who handles supplier pickup, loading and export formalities. For EXW shipments, check the local export arrangement rather than assuming the overseas buyer can complete every step.
Under DAP, the buyer handles import clearance and duties and taxes. A DDP option requires separate assessment of importer arrangements, tax responsibility and product eligibility.
Confirm business hours, booking requirements, forklift or crane access, container unloading time and pallet handling. Tail-lift service must be requested and checked for cargo suitability.

Practical answers for importers planning their next commercial shipment.
BRF can assess the route and coordinate Vietnam origin handling and Australian destination services through local partners. Send supplier and delivery addresses so coverage and the exact scope can be confirmed.
Compare cargo volume, weight, fragility, total origin and destination charges and delivery requirements. FCL offers dedicated equipment; LCL can suit smaller volumes but involves consolidation and additional handling.

Pickup can be assessed using the complete factory address, cargo-ready date, packaging and loading facilities. Local trucking and export responsibilities must be agreed before collection.
Common documents include the invoice, packing list and transport document. The broker must confirm any additional declarations, permits, origin evidence and packaging information required for the specific goods.
No. Any preferential claim depends on the applicable agreement, product classification, qualifying origin rules and accepted evidence. Confirm eligibility with the customs broker.
A DDP request needs assessment before acceptance. The quote must identify a compliant importer arrangement and how duties, taxes, inspections and delivery charges are handled.
Send the product name, supplier address, Australian postcode, cartons or pallets, dimensions, gross weight, total CBM, ready date and Incoterm. Include photos for machinery, oversized goods or unusual packaging.
