How Vietnam Freight Rates Work
Vietnam freight rates depend on several factors. Understanding them helps you plan your supply chain and budget accurately.
Air Freight Rate Factors
- Chargeable weight — the higher of actual weight (kg) or volumetric weight [(L × W × H in cm) ÷ 6,000]
- Route — SGN → LAX is different from HAN → AMS
- Service level — standard vs. express/priority
- Commodity — batteries, dangerous goods, perishables may attract surcharges
- Fuel surcharges — fluctuate weekly based on oil prices
- Seasonal demand — Q4 peak season (Sep–Dec) pushes rates sharply higher
Ocean Freight Rate Factors
- Container size — 20′, 40′, 40’HC, or LCL per CBM
- Origin port — Cat Lai, Cai Mep, Hai Phong, or Da Nang
- Destination port — LA, Long Beach, New York, Rotterdam, Hamburg, etc.
- Shipping line — rates vary by carrier and shipping alliance
- Surcharges — BAF (bunker fuel), PSS (peak season), THC (terminal handling), DOC (documentation)
- Market conditions — ocean rates remain volatile; plan ahead for peak seasons

Ocean and air freight rates are set by carriers on a spot or contract basis and change weekly or even daily based on capacity, fuel costs, and demand. Always request a current quote rather than relying on benchmarks.
Standard add-ons: Vietnam export customs ($50–$150), B/L or AWB fee ($50–$100), destination terminal handling, US customs entry ($150–$300), and final delivery trucking. All included in our door-to-door quotes.
Per kg, yes. But for small, high-value, or time-sensitive cargo, air can be the better total value when you factor in inventory carrying cost, speed to market, and reduced handling risk.
