Although certain you may file entries on your own behalf, we recommend you should use the consult from customs broker best the way on the first time.
Those importing shipment for their own use often hire a customs broker, particularly if they find the importing procedures complicated; however, they may make an entry on their own. You wish to consult the professional services of a Customs broker may do so. Customs brokers are licensed by Vietnam Customs.
Remember, even when using a broker, you, the importer of record (IOR), are ultimately responsible for the correctness of the entry documentation presented to Vietnam Customs and all applicable duties, taxes, and fees.
