+1 (818) 600-0008FCL and LCL ocean freight from Cai Mep, Ho Chi Minh City and Haiphong, plus air cargo from
Tan Son Nhat and Noi Bai. Customs cleared, picked up at LA and Long Beach, and delivered to
your door anywhere in the U.S.
No major trade lane into the U.S. is growing faster. American imports from Vietnam hit $193.8 billion in 2025, up 42 percent in a single year, as sourcing kept shifting out of China. The gateway map matters. The Cai Mep-Thi Vai deep-water complex southeast of Ho Chi Minh City takes direct transpacific calls from the largest vessels. Cat Lai in Ho Chi Minh City is the country's busiest container terminal and feeds the southern manufacturing belt. Haiphong and the Lach Huyen deep-water terminal serve the northern electronics corridor around Hanoi, where Samsung, LG and their supplier networks ship from. Where your factory sits, north or south, decides your port, your routing, and your transit.
AEEM Shipping manages the full move: FCL bookings and LCL consolidations out of Cai Mep, Ho Chi Minh City and Haiphong, air cargo from Tan Son Nhat and Noi Bai, customs clearance coordinated through licensed partners while your freight is on the water, and same-day drayage at every San Pedro Bay terminal on arrival. One point of contact from Vietnamese origin to U.S. door, tracked in real time with 24/7 dispatch.
Origin port to final door, managed by one team.

Vietnam is where the sourcing shift landed. Apparel and footwear made it the largest foreign supplier of clothing to the U.S., furniture fills containers out of the southern provinces, and electronics out of the northern corridor grew nearly 78 percent in 2025 alone. Direct services from Cai Mep reach San Pedro Bay in 16 to 18 days. Northern cargo out of Haiphong runs a few days longer, often routing through Lach Huyen's direct calls or transshipping via regional hubs.
The lane's pressure point is documentation, not distance. Country-of-origin rules are under active U.S. scrutiny on Vietnamese cargo, and transshipped goods face steeper duty treatment than genuine Vietnamese production, so clean certificates of origin and accurate supplier records decide your duty rate. Capacity is the other squeeze: peak season space out of Vietnam tightens faster than the China lane because there are fewer weekly sailings. We book early, file ISF before loading, keep origin paperwork tight through our licensed customs partners, and on arrival keep the box moving with appointments set off the vessel ETA and pre-pulls when free time runs short.

Straight answers on freight from Vietnam to the U.S.
Direct services from Cai Mep reach LA and Long Beach in 16 to 18 days port to port. Ho Chi Minh City cargo feeding through Cat Lai runs similar schedules. Haiphong and northern Vietnam typically run 18 to 22 days depending on routing. Add time for customs clearance and drayage to final delivery.
Rates move with container size, season, fuel surcharges, and the origin port, and Vietnam rates swing harder in peak season because weekly capacity is tighter than the China lane. Send us the origin, cargo, and volume and we return a real all-in quote covering ocean freight, destination charges, duties, and delivery.
If your cargo fills most of a 20-foot container, FCL is usually faster and cheaper per unit. Smaller volumes move LCL through consolidation in Ho Chi Minh City and Haiphong, which typically adds one to two weeks over FCL because of consolidation at origin and deconsolidation on arrival.
Ocean freight moves FCL and LCL from Cai Mep, Cat Lai in Ho Chi Minh City, and Haiphong including the Lach Huyen deep-water terminal. Air cargo departs Tan Son Nhat and Noi Bai. If your factory sits in an industrial province, we arrange trucking to the nearest gateway.
U.S. customs applies stricter duty treatment to goods transshipped through Vietnam than to goods genuinely manufactured there, and enforcement on this lane is active. Clean certificates of origin and complete supplier documentation determine your duty rate. We coordinate that paperwork through licensed customs partners before your cargo ships.
Our own drayage network picks up at every San Pedro Bay terminal, with pre-pull and overweight capability, then delivers to your door or transloads in the Inland Empire.
