Full-Service Air Import from the USA to Vietnam

Full-service air import from the USA to Vietnam is a shipping solution for moving goods from the United States to Vietnam quickly, while streamlining the whole process from pickup in the USA, domestic transport and air freight to import clearance and delivery in Vietnam.

Instead of handling each stage with a different provider, a business can choose an end-to-end logistics service to simplify the process. For goods bought on EXW terms, the carrier collects the goods at the supplier's address in the USA before moving them to the airport.

Embassy Freight provides air import solutions for corporate customers that need to import machinery, equipment, components, spare parts, samples, raw materials and commercial goods into Ho Chi Minh City, Dong Nai, Binh Duong and other areas of Vietnam.

What Is Full-Service Air Import from the USA to Vietnam?

Full-service air import from the USA to Vietnam means organizing several logistics stages within a single process. Rather than covering only the USA → Vietnam leg, the service can include:

Pickup in the USA → US domestic transport → Airport/Gateway → Air Freight → Import clearance → Delivery in Vietnam.

Depending on your needs and the service scope, you can use part or all of the journey. The goal of an end-to-end solution is to give your business a single logistics point of contact to coordinate the stages, cut down on the work you handle yourself, and make it easier to track shipment progress.

Why Do Businesses Import from the USA by Air?

The United States is a major supply market for many kinds of goods, machinery and equipment. However, the long distance means transport needs to be organized carefully. Air is often considered when a business prioritizes time.

Shorter Transit Times

Compared with ocean, air freight usually has the edge on speed. That suits cases such as: urgent goods, production components, spare parts that need replacing, samples, project equipment, goods with a tight delivery deadline, etc.

Ideal for Small and Medium Shipments

Shipments that are not too large but are time-sensitive are typically the ones worth considering for air.

More Control over Timing

With an end-to-end service, you can coordinate pickup, trucking, air freight, clearance and delivery under one unified plan.

Fewer Providers to Manage

Handling it yourself may mean finding: a US pickup provider, a trucking provider, an air freight provider, a customs broker, a delivery provider in Vietnam, etc. An end-to-end service links these stages together more smoothly.

What Does Full-Service US Import Include?

1. Pickup in the USA

Goods are collected from: factories, warehouses, offices, distribution centers, supplier addresses, etc. For EXW goods, you must provide the exact US supplier address so a pickup plan can be arranged.

2. US Domestic Transport

After collection, the goods are moved to a suitable airport or gateway. The departure airport is not necessarily the one closest to the supplier. The plan must be calculated based on the cargo address, trucking, flight schedules and total cost.

3. International Air Freight

The goods are loaded onto a suitable flight to travel from the USA to Vietnam. Depending on the route, they may need a connection or transshipment before reaching Vietnam.

4. Import Clearance Support

Once the goods arrive in Vietnam, import procedures must be completed according to the goods type and current regulations.

5. Delivery to Your Warehouse

After the necessary procedures are complete, the goods can be delivered to your warehouse or business address in Vietnam.

Full-Service US Import under EXW Terms

EXW – Ex Works is a common trade term in international transactions. When buying on EXW, you may need to arrange collection at the seller's location. The process may be:

US supplier → EXW Pickup → Trucking → Airport/Gateway → Air Freight → Vietnam → Customs clearance → Delivery.

This is one of the cases where an end-to-end logistics service clearly proves its worth. Instead of finding a US pickup provider yourself, you can request a single seamless plan from the EXW address all the way to Vietnam.

EXW Pickup across the United States

Your suppliers may be located in many different states, such as California, Texas, New York, Illinois, Michigan, Florida, Georgia, Washington, Ohio, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and many others.

So when requesting a quote, you don't need to know in advance which airport will be used. Just provide the supplier address and the logistics provider can assess:

Pickup address → distance to gateway → trucking plan → flight schedule → Air Freight → Vietnam.

Which Goods Can Be Imported from the USA by Air

Depending on the nature of the goods and shipping regulations, air freight can suit many categories.

• Machinery: Machinery, machine parts or industrial equipment from the USA can go by air if the size and weight are suitable.
• Components: Production components are typically time-sensitive. A single missing component can affect a production line, so businesses may consider air freight when a quick top-up is needed.
• Spare Parts: Machine, automotive or industrial-equipment spare parts and replacement components can suit air transport where the requirements are met.
• Equipment: Electrical, electronic, industrial or specialized equipment can be considered for air transport.
• Samples: Air freight is especially well suited to samples, when a business needs to bring a product into Vietnam for checking, testing or evaluation before placing a large order.
• Raw Materials: Certain raw materials of a suitable weight and nature can be imported by air when a business prioritizes timing.

How Is a Full-Service Solution Different from Booking Air Freight Only?

This is an important distinction. Booking air freight only may focus on the international air leg. A full-service import solution, by contrast, aims to connect multiple stages.

So it is important to define the service scope in the quote clearly before signing.

Full-Service US–Vietnam Air Import Rates

There is no single fixed price for every shipment. The total cost may include:

US pickup + Domestic trucking + Air Freight + Handling fees + Airport fees + Customs clearance + Related duties/fees + Delivery in Vietnam.

Some factors that affect the price are: the US pickup address, number of packages, dimensions of each package, actual weight, volumetric weight, goods type, goods value, flight schedule, delivery terms, Vietnam delivery address, import procedure requirements, etc.

What to Provide for a US Air Import Quote?

• Supplier Information: Company name, address, city, state, ZIP Code, contact person, phone, email.
• Cargo Information: Item name, detailed description, model, quantity, value, HS Code if available, photos/catalogue if needed.
• Packing Information: Number of packages, package dimensions, package weight, packaging type.
• Shipping Information: EXW or other Incoterms, cargo-ready date, Vietnam delivery address, desired delivery time.

This information helps build a more precise quote and limits surprises once the goods have been picked up.

Documents to Prepare for US Imports

Depending on the goods, you may need to prepare related documents such as:

• Commercial Invoice: Showing the transaction details and goods value.
• Packing List: Showing the number of packages, packing specifications, weight and dimensions.
• Air Waybill: The air transport document showing shipment details and the routing.
• Goods-Related Documents: Catalogue, Specification, Certificate, Certificate of Origin, permits, specialized inspection documents, technical files.
