Your Sourcing in Vietnam, Managed from A to Z
A flexible solution for complete support with your purchases in Vietnam: supplier sourcing and audit, quality control, compliance, private labeling, and logistics management.
Sourcing without an agent: More Trouble Than It’s Worth
When sourcing on platforms like Alibaba or local Vietnamese trade platforms, you’re flooded with options that all seem promising. But without local expertise, verifying if they’re actual Vietnamese manufacturers or just scams is nearly impossible, leaving you exposed to major risks.
Legit supplier or costly scam?

Quality & Compliance Risks
It only takes one small slip, like a material quality issue or missing a compliance detail, to end up with rejected shipments, legal headaches, and lost time. Trying to manage supplier compliance remotely, without really knowing the local rules inside out, can turn into a costly mess.
Lost in Translation
Even fluent English speakers may struggle to convey business nuances and technical specifications across cultures. Misunderstandings in supplier agreements or misaligned production expectations can happen easily, leading to delays, defective products, or increased costs.
Disconnected from the Factory Floor
You can negotiate prices, select suppliers, and confirm your orders, but when it comes to on-the-ground visibility in Vietnam, you’re often left in the dark. Remote sourcing means you lack real-time updates on your product’s status, quality checks, or any potential issues that might arise during production.

We can't make this up, read why businesses are trusting us with their international sourcing every day.
I own a small custom furniture startup. I recently needed to import some materials from China and worked with DocShipper for the first time. Honestly, they made the whole process way simpler than I expected. My contact was super helpful, always checking in and answering my questions. It was my first import, so I was worried things would go wrong, but they handled it all like pros. Highly recommend!

My name is Ad Van Den Bosh. I am a Dutch business man cross-trading in the Far East. I reached Robert Houwayek to clear a 40HC of greenhouse equipment from Qingdao, and deliver it to Lan Krabue in no time. He suggested that I request a Form E, which I did from the supplier, and was able to enjoy a preferential tariff treatment. DocShipper, a way to help you save both time and money!

Starting a sound book publishing business wasn’t easy. I had no experience sourcing from China, but Daniel from DocShipper made it possible. He took care of everything, finding a factory, production, quality even negotiating better deals than I imagined!! He explained things clearly and eased my stress. Thanks to DocShipper, the whole process went smoothly. I’m excited to work with them again in the near future!

As a small fashion business owner, I was nervous importing my new collection from a new supplier. I didn’t know what to expect, bu they explained every step and answered all my questions without any condescension. The team was patient, knowledgeable, and efficient. The goods arrived on time and exactly like the sample. I’m so happy with how things went and will definitely rely on them for future imports.

A vice president caught up in the thick of thin things, an EXW shipment of plumbing supplies for irrigation from Eureka California to Caldera Costa Rica is definitely not what I’d like to have on my agenda. [...]This time he skillfully handled all US export formalities incl. SED/AES filing, pre-pull drayage, not to mention the sea freight from Oakland POL by a 20-footer. Everything ended up working out like a charm!

DocShipper shipped a 20- ft Milvan overseas to Laem Chabang for a customer. The team was responsible for shipping the shipping to another country. Having very little knowledge in this area, I didn't know how to organise myself . One week after my arrival on the Asian continent. Marc O. Was available at all times and nearly instant feedback. Made a stressful event much easier and he definitely knows his job.

Who do we work with?
Entrepreneurs
You’re launching a new project or startup. Finding reliable suppliers abroad can quickly become overwhelming. Between a lack of time, cultural barriers, and little experience in supplier sourcing, you risk losing sight of your main goal: growing your business.
E-commerce businesses and online retailers
Your priority is finding suppliers who allow you to maintain good margins while ensuring product quality. But between supplier selection, managing costs, and dealing with production timelines, it’s hard to focus on what truly grows your business: marketing.
Procurement and sourcing managers
You’re responsible for managing an entire supply chain while ensuring the quality and compliance of products. Your decisions directly impact your company’s performance, but the constant pressure to find reliable suppliers while meeting deadlines can be overwhelming.
Distributors and wholesalers
You manage large order volumes and need a steady flow of products to meet demand. Unforeseen issues, such as unreliable suppliers or production delays, can quickly disrupt your supply chain. Your main challenge is finding stable partners capable of delivering in large quantities while ensuring quality and timely delivery.
Steps of our
Sourcing Services
We cover every stage of your product sourcing with a customized approach to ensure smooth operations:
It all begins with a discussion with our team of sourcing agents in Vietnam. You share your expectations, product specifications, and priorities in terms of quality, lead times, and price. We formalize this information into a detailed specifications sheet, which will serve as the foundation for the entire process.
Our purchasing team identifies the most suitable suppliers for your sourcing needs in Vietnam. We evaluate each supplier based on several criteria: years of operation, price, production capacity, MOQ, lead times, and responsiveness. We screen out brokers in the process.
Before proceeding, we ensure the suppliers meet the necessary standards and certifications, such as CE, RoHS, or ISO. These checks guarantee that your products comply with the regulations of the destination country.
We present you with a shortlist of selected suppliers based on the criteria established in the specifications. Together, we adjust the choices according to your preferences before moving forward. You have full control at this stage, while benefiting from our expertise.
At this stage, you can request samples of the selected products to validate their quality before placing the order in the Vietnamese factory. This step is crucial to avoid any unpleasant surprises.
Once the samples are validated, our sourcing agents negotiate the best terms for you. The main points negotiated include price, production timelines, and minimum order quantities (MOQ). We also ensure that additional services, such as customized packaging or product assembly flexibility, are included in the contract terms with the supplier.
Once the contract is signed, production begins. We stay in constant contact with the supplier to ensure that production progresses as planned and on schedule. You receive regular updates on the progress to avoid any delays or issues.
Before shipment, we conduct rigorous quality control to ensure the products meet the established specifications and that everything is in order. You can also opt for more in-depth quality control options depending on your needs.
Want to know more? Check out our quality control page.
Once quality control is validated, we finalize the payment to the suppliers. Typically, a 30% deposit is paid at the start of production, with the remainder paid before delivery. After the payment is completed, we organize international shipping to ensure your products arrive as quickly as possible.
