DocShipper’s services in Vietnam
Sea Freight from/to Vietnam
Ocean freight is the most popular form of shipping. It allows large quantities of goods to be transported cost-effectively from one country to another using sea containers. Ocean freight is the most versatile, reliable and cost-effective form of shipping. Compared to road and air transport, it has a minimal effect on the environment. You have two options for shipping your items:
LCL (less than container load): With this service, you can combine your products with those of other shippers in one container.
FCL (full container load): You reserve the entire container and keep it closed from start to finish.
Air freight to and from Vietnam
The transportation of goods by air is called air freight. Although it is not a cheap or environmentally friendly mode of transportation, air freight allows you to transport items quickly and over long distances. In just a few days, your package will be halfway around the world. There are two ways to ship your stuff by air freight:
Traditional air freight: You lease space on established air cargo carriers such as Air France, Qatar Airways and American Airlines...
Express air freight: The three categories: tracking, on-time delivery and door-to-door. For small products weighing less than 100kg, we recommend using an expedited shipping service such as UPS, Fedex, DHL, TNT...
Road freight to/from Vietnam
Many terminals, such as your warehouse, business or residence, are connected by road freight to departure/arrival terminals, such as ports, airports and railway stations.
Road freight is the most convenient and fastest mode of transportation, but it is also the least environmentally friendly. For short distances, such as cross-border travel, road transport offers a direct door-to-door alternative.

All flights to Hanoi land at Noi Bai International Airport in Soc Son District, 45 kilometers north of the capital, Hanoi. Although it is smaller than the country's other two international airports, it was the second busiest in terms of passenger numbers after Ton San Nhat in 2005.
The airport, originally built by the North Vietnamese Air Force, became Hanoi's main airport after Vietnam's reunification in 1975.

Tan Son Nhat Airport is always busy, with about 38 million passengers passing through in 2018. It has two concrete runways that can accommodate up to 25 million people per year.
Due to the large amount of passengers on domestic routes, which has congested Terminal 1, another airport, Long Thanh, will take over sections of Tan Son Nhat's operations in 2020, with a capacity of 100 million passengers per year, mainly for domestic routes.
During the Vietnam War, both the U.S. Air Force and the South Vietnamese Air Force used Tan Son Nhat as an important air base.
