Questions, answered straight.

Not necessarily. Many producers enter through a Vietnamese importer of record who holds the licences and takes title to the goods. Setting up your own entity makes sense at higher volumes, or when you want control over pricing and distribution. Market Entry models both routes on your numbers before you commit to either.

Import duty, Special Consumption Tax and VAT compound on the customs value, so the multiple on your FOB is larger than most producers expect. The Landed-Cost Calculator models it on your own figures, and a Market Entry engagement produces the full model out to recommended retail.

For a straightforward distribution licence, typically eight to fourteen weeks from a complete dossier. Incomplete or inconsistent paperwork causes the delay, not the authorities — which is exactly why the Compliance Audit exists.

Yes, and in the first conversation rather than the fourth invoice. Some categories and price points do not work here yet. A no in week two costs you far less than a stalled entry in month nine.

No. We are paid fees for defined work. We do not take a cut of your sales, we do not hold your brand rights, and we do not sit between you and your importer once the introduction is made.

Often the most productive engagement. We audit their compliance position, benchmark the pricing they have set, and tell you whether the channel coverage they claim matches what they actually cover.
