Vietnam is a country that is fast emerging to become one of the most vibrant trade forces in Asia, as opposed to being a silent manufacturing industry in the past ten years. As the global supply chains move and manufacturers no longer use China, Vietnam has become a very essential bridge between Asian and the rest of the world. This change has been experienced in Think Global Logistics (TGL) and has been supported by us.
Vietnam’s Position in Global Trade
The history of the economic development of Vietnam is impressive. The country has emerged to be a major exporter of textiles and electronics, furniture and seafood to some of the largest brands across the globe. Having a strategic geographical position, bordering China and being near major shipping routes, provides it with an exclusive advantage when it comes to inbound raw material and outbound finished goods.
Free trade agreements like CPTPP and EVFTA have also enhanced accessibility of Vietnam to the global markets in recent years turning it into a destination of choice in terms of manufacturing and trade partners.
TGL’s Role in Strengthening Vietnam Trade Lanes
Think global logistics has significantly penetrated Vietnam as part of our Asia expansion strategy whereby we have developed strong working relationships with reliable local agents and transport companies. We have a simple objective and that is to bridge Australian business to Vietnam effectively, transparently and in total visibility in all the supply chain processes.
Whether it’s importing raw materials from Vietnam into Australia or exporting Australian goods into the growing Vietnamese market, our team ensures smooth customs clearance, competitive rates, and proactive communication throughout.
Inbound & Outbound Focus

We are guaranteed of smooth transportation of our cargo across Vietnam ports such as Ho Chi Minh city (Cat Lai) and Hai Phong with our local logistics partners and customs experts.
Outbound from Vietnam:
To businesses that are sourcing in Vietnam TGL is able to provide an end-to-end service i.e. pickup at the factories and delivery to the door in Australia/US/Europe. We also have a comprehensive reach inland in the sea and air freight and a digital platform of shipment tracking TGL offers our clients real-time control of shipment, and they will remain informed at each point.
Why Vietnam Matters for Australian Businesses
Vietnam is emerging as one of the best partners in trade in Australia. It is a combination of its stable growth, young employees and open trade policies which makes it an obvious choice of companies which would like to be both reliable and cost effective.
In TGL, there has been a rise in the demand in the freight services between Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane and Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi in the retail industry, construction material and electronic industry.
TGL, Building Stronger Trade Bridges
In our opinion, logistics is not only about the transportation of cargo, but creating links between individuals, markets, and opportunities. Our expansion in Vietnam can be seen as an indication of the TGL approach to being a global thinker, i.e. expanding networks, implementing more agile logistics solutions, and establishing more efficient communication channels in international trade.
It does not matter whether you are importing or exporting or exploring Vietnam as your next sourcing location, we are here to take you through the entire process with the experience and care that you deserve.
