Transit cargo transportation

What is transit cargo?

According to the Commercial Law, these are goods permitted to be transported through the territory of Vietnam from one country to another within a specified period. This process includes activities such as transshipment, storage, splitting of shipments, and other forms of processing while the goods are in transit. These transit goods can be transported directly through the territory of Vietnam or temporarily stored at Vietnamese seaports or warehouses before being transported to another country.
