“For labour-intensive products with simpler manufacturing processes, Vietnam often delivers genuine cost savings. However, for complex products requiring advanced manufacturing capabilities, China may still be the better option. The key is knowing where to source each component of your product line.”

MOQs in Vietnam vary by industry and manufacturer, but are often more flexible than in China. For textiles and apparel, MOQs typically range from 300 to 1,000 units. Furniture manufacturers may require 50-200 pieces, depending on complexity. Electronics tend to have higher MOQs of 1,000+ units. At Epic Sourcing, we help negotiate the most favourable MOQs for your business needs.
Trying to figure out how to import from Vietnam to Australia? The shipping time from Vietnam to Australia is similar to that of China, with sea freight typically taking 15-25 days, depending on the specific ports and routes. Air freight is faster at 3-5 days but more expensive. The key advantage is that Vietnam’s major manufacturing hubs are concentrated around Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi, with efficient port access, making internal logistics streamlined.
Vietnam excels in several key industries: textiles and apparel (particularly activewear and casual clothing), furniture (mainly wooden furniture), electronics assembly, and wood products. The country is also emerging as a strong player in footwear, bags and accessories, and certain types of machinery. For labour-intensive products that don’t require highly specialised manufacturing capabilities, Vietnam often provides an excellent balance of quality and cost for anyone who is sourcing products.
As part of Epic Sourcing’s quality control process, our dedicated team maintains multiple stages of quality control on the ground in Vietnam. We carry out quality checks at every stage of production, starting with initial factory audits, sample approvals, and ongoing inspections. For each industry, we implement a detailed quality control protocol, from fabric testing in textiles to structural integrity checks in furniture. By the time products leave the factory, we have documented and resolved all issues to ensure they meet your standards.
Most Vietnamese manufacturers require a 30% deposit when you confirm your order, with the remaining 70% paid before shipping. But these terms are not set in stone, as they often depend on your relationship with the supplier and the size of your order. At Epic Sourcing, we use our strong connections with Vietnamese manufacturers to negotiate the best possible payment terms for you, often securing more flexible arrangements that protect your cash flow.
Let Epic Sourcing be your guide to import from Vietnam to Australia. Our team of experts is ready to help you identify the right suppliers, ensure product quality, and streamline your entire sourcing process.
