Customs clearance, built into your booking

One booking, no broker hunt
Add customs clearance when you book your shipment. We coordinate with a licensed customs broker, so you don’t have to find and manage one separately.
Pay your customs costs upfront
See your estimated customs costs and pay them upfront as part of your booking, instead of managing a separate customs payment later.
One team from freight through clearance
Ship4wd coordinates your freight and customs clearance together, so you have one team helping manage the shipment through clearance and delivery.
Everything your Vietnam-to-US shipment needs
One vendor for your whole shipment. Add the services you want to your booking and manage everything in one place.
Digital Customs Clearance
Add US customs clearance to the same booking as your freight. We coordinate with a licensed customs broker to handle your CBP entry and required documentation, so you don’t need to hire a separate broker or manage clearance somewhere else.
Cargo Insurance
Cover the full value of your cargo from your supplier to your destination, including the main freight leg and inland delivery. Add insurance to your booking in a couple of clicks, with no separate policy to chase down. If something goes wrong in transit, you file with the same team that booked your shipment.
Pre-Shipment Inspection
Have your goods checked before they leave your supplier, so quality problems surface while you can still fix them. For a first-time supplier or a new product line, an inspection gives you another way to check your goods when you can’t visit the factory yourself. You get the inspection report before you release payment or ship.
Pay After Arrival
Free up your cash by deferring your freight payment instead of paying before your goods leave your supplier. It’s a way to manage cash flow across the gap between paying a supplier and selling your stock. Apply once, and the option travels with your future bookings.

As featured in…
- Shipping from Vietnam to the USA
-
For most shipments, you’ll need a commercial invoice, packing list, Certificate of Origin, and transport document, such as a bill of lading for ocean freight or an air waybill for air freight. Ocean shipments to the US also require an Importer Security Filing (ISF 10+2) before departure. Additional documents may be required depending on your product and shipment. Ship4wd coordinates the required paperwork with your supplier and handles the customs filings needed for your shipment.
-
As long as the product is genuinely of Vietnamese origin, Vietnamese goods are not subject to the China-specific Section 301 tariffs. Standard US customs duties and other applicable trade measures may still apply depending on the product and its HTS classification. If you’re comparing sourcing costs between Vietnam and China, factor the applicable duties into your total landed cost, not just the freight rate.
-
A Certificate of Origin documents where your goods originate and may be required as part of your shipping and customs paperwork. For Vietnam shipments, origin matters because it can affect the US tariff treatment that applies to your goods. Ship4wd coordinates the required documentation with your Vietnamese supplier as part of the shipping process.
-
Yes. Shipping goods from Vietnam does not automatically make them Vietnamese in origin. If goods or components come from China and are assembled or processed in Vietnam, their country of origin depends on where the required manufacturing or transformation actually took place. That determination can affect whether China-specific tariffs apply, so it’s important to confirm origin and classification before shipping.
-
With FCL, you book an entire container for your shipment, which can be more cost-effective for larger loads and avoids the extra time needed to consolidate cargo. With LCL, your goods share container space with other shipments, so you pay only for the space you use. This can make LCL a better fit for smaller shipments or businesses testing a new supplier. The right option depends on your shipment size, budget, and timeline.
