Many SMB owners and individuals in Vietnam face significant challenges with import-export procedures, particularly when shipping orders internationally.
You may not be aware that Vietnam has signed numerous Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) with countries worldwide; each agreement entails specific regulations regarding goods and associated tariff schedules.
Accurately identifying product classification codes and determining the correct preferential tariff rates under these trade agreements is crucial—often a matter of survival—for most businesses.
Substantial savings—potentially hundreds of thousands of USD—can be achieved on exports simply by correctly tracking and applying the right tariff rates and product classification codes.
Historically, this task was handled by independent brokers or specialized import-export firms, each with expertise in specific industry sectors. However, relying heavily on a limited number of providers can sometimes deprive businesses of an objective means of verification.
Many companies repeatedly import or export the same goods year after year, applying the same classification code and fixed tax rate, often unaware that this very habit may be putting them at a disadvantage.
TradeOS does not aim to completely replace import-export firms or independent brokers; instead, we provide a tool and platform that empowers individuals and business owners—even those just starting to export to international markets—to identify better opportunities and drive further business growth.
