Over the past 4 years, searches for Vietnam sourcing agents have increased. With lower labor costs than China’s, Vietnam has become a good option to import products. But most people don’t have much experience in importing from Vietnam.
This is why I contacted sourcing agents in Vietnam and invited 8 of them to share insights into local sourcing markets or introduce specialized services. Most of them are located in Ho Chi Minh City, one of the fastest-growing manufacturing hubs in Asia. Click corporate names, and directly go to the one you’re interested in.

I am the founder, Fredrik, visiting Vietnam monthly since late 2017. Vietnam has low labor costs like China, but industrial chains are not so diverse as China’s. Take watches and electronics for example. You’ll find it more difficult to look for such factories in Vietnam. If you tend to purchase textiles, Vietnam is a very good option.
In Vietnam, you’d better visit factories to check their qualifications if you are going to handle a large order with them. Vietnam has no established wholesale website like Alibaba China, which can give you easy access to suppliers. And nowadays few people verify the factory quality on-site, especially when buying small quantities. So, sourcing agencies are valuable as long as they give you access to the factory.
This is why I keep visiting Vietnam. We can provide Vietnam supplier directory lists and help manage the sourcing process, including quality inspections, lab testing, and shipping from the main ports, including Ho Chi Minh and Hai Phong outside of Hanoi.
