What Is Transit Cargo in Vietnam?

Transit cargo refers to goods owned by foreign individuals or organizations that are transported from an exporting country to an importing country through Vietnamese territory. Throughout this process, the goods remain under strict customs supervision until they leave the border.

Typical examples of transit routes

• Thailand → Laos → Vietnam → China: Goods travel by road (through Laos or Cambodia), enter Vietnam, and then continue to China.
• Cambodia → Vietnam → China: Goods are transported through Vietnamese land border gates or seaports before continuing to the Chinese border.

Important regulations to note

• Goods must remain unchanged and retain their proper customs seals (GPS tracking seals GPS) throughout the transit process.
• Procedures must be completed at the first port of entry and the final port of exit.
• Goods may not be sold or consumed domestically in Vietnam unless specifically authorized by a competent state authority.
• For goods on restricted or conditional lists, businesses must obtain a transit permit issued by the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment.
