Import Cars from China to Vietnam
Vietnam is one of the fastest, most affordable routes DriveSino ships — freight from just $1,155 USD with 7–12 days transit to Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, or Da Nang. BYD, Wuling, and Haval all have real, growing demand among Vietnamese buyers. The one thing worth knowing upfront: Vietnam applies some of the highest vehicle taxes in Southeast Asia on vehicles from outside ASEAN, so total landed cost needs checking before you commit, independent of how fast and cheap the shipping itself is.
At DriveSino, we handle the entire export process from China to Vietnam — vehicle sourcing, multi-point inspection, export documentation, and shipping.
Waarom Importeren uit China naar Vietnam?
- Fast, affordable shipping: Vietnam's proximity to China makes it one of the quickest, cheapest routes DriveSino offers — 7–13 days versus 30+ for most other markets
- Real brand demand: BYD, Wuling (especially compact EVs), and Haval all have genuine buyer interest in Vietnam
- Left-hand drive standard: Vietnam drives on the right, matching the LHD configuration Chinese manufacturers produce as standard
- Be clear on tax first: Vietnam is not an ASEAN-preferential source for Chinese vehicles, so total tax (import duty + special consumption tax + VAT) can be substantial — confirm total landed cost before ordering, not just the vehicle price

Invoerrechten & Belastingen voor Vietnam
Vietnam applies vehicle taxation that's genuinely high relative to most markets DriveSino serves, since China doesn't benefit from the ASEAN-preferential rates Vietnam gives fellow ASEAN members. The structure typically stacks import duty, a Special Consumption Tax that scales with engine size, and VAT — high enough in combination that we won't publish a specific total percentage here, as it would likely understate your real cost. Confirm total landed cost with DriveSino before ordering so there are no surprises.
