Garments are Vietnam's flagship export to the United States. Large brands have their own logistics teams, but small and mid-size brands, start-ups and Amazon sellers often prefer a DDP service that delivers finished goods to their warehouse with duties paid.
Choosing the mode
| Mode | When to use |
|---|---|
| Air express | Samples, sizing sets, small urgent restocks |
| Air freight | Season launches, fast-moving SKUs |
| Sea LCL | Small brands, replenishment |
| Sea FCL | Main seasonal orders |
Carton or garment on hanger (GOH)?
Most apparel ships folded in cartons. Tailored jackets, dresses and coats may ship garment on hanger in specially fitted containers, so they arrive ready for the shop floor without pressing — at a higher freight cost per piece.
DDP pricing for apparel
Garments generally carry higher base duty rates than most other consumer goods, so duty is often the largest single cost in a DDP price. See US duties on garments.
Compliance essentials
- Fibre content, origin and care labels — see labelling rules.
- Cotton traceability documents for UFLPA checks.
- Flammability and children's product rules where relevant.
Duty rates and trade rules change. Figures here are general guidance — confirm current rates for your exact HTS codes before quoting DDP prices.
