Why should I work with a sourcing agent in Vietnam?
A sourcing agent in Vietnam connects U.S. companies directly to vetted factories, helping you cut costs, avoid tariffs, and reduce risk. With Importivity’s full-time team based in Ho Chi Minh City, we manage factory sourcing, negotiations, inspections, compliance, logistics, and customs—so your supply chain is seamless from start to finish.
What industries is Vietnam best known for?
Vietnam excels in textiles and apparel, plastics manufacturing, metal fabrication, and electronics assembly. It’s also a rising hub for consumer goods and packaged foods. For U.S. companies, Vietnam offers lower labor costs and tariff advantages compared to China, making it a powerful choice for industries where margins are tight.
How do U.S. tariffs impact sourcing from Vietnam?
As of September 2025, Vietnamese exports to the U.S. face a 20% reciprocal tariff, with a 40% tariff applied to goods suspected of Chinese transshipment. However, Vietnam remains attractive because its costs are still significantly lower than China’s, and many U.S. companies use Importivity to structure deals that stay tariff-compliant.
Is Vietnam manufacturing sourcing reliable for long-term partnerships?
Yes. Over the past decade, Vietnam has become one of the most reliable factory sourcing agency hubs in Asia. With strong foreign investment, industrial park development, and compliance improvements, Vietnam offers stability and scalability. Importivity strengthens this reliability by conducting multi-stage QA inspections and supplier vetting before you commit.
What are the challenges of sourcing from Vietnam?
While Vietnam is strong in labor-intensive and mid-tech industries, challenges include longer lead times compared to Mexico, and imported raw materials that can raise costs. Language barriers and fragmented supply chains also exist. With Importivity as your sourcing partner, you avoid these pitfalls and gain access to trusted, pre-qualified suppliers.
Can Importivity help with textile manufacturing sourcing in Vietnam?
Absolutely. Vietnam is one of the world’s leading exporters of apparel and textiles. Importivity has direct connections with factories specializing in clothing, footwear, and technical fabrics. We help U.S. brands balance cost, compliance, and speed-to-market while navigating Vietnam’s strengths in labor cost savings and large production capacity.
How does Vietnam compare to China or Mexico for sourcing?
Vietnam vs. China: Vietnam offers lower labor costs and tariff advantages, while China still dominates in scale and advanced electronics.
Vietnam vs. Mexico: Vietnam provides larger labor pools and lower wages, but Mexico wins in shipping speed and nearshoring convenience.
Importivity helps clients evaluate these trade-offs so you can choose the best sourcing destination for your business.
