A wrong choice of route or booking time can significantly increase the total delivery cost.<\/p>\n<p>In 2026, <a href=\"https:\/\/cucthuy.gov.vn\/danh-sach-doanh-nghiep-xk-thuy-san\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vietnam's seafood exports<\/a> surpassed the 11.3 billion USD mark and continue to expand in many major markets. At the same time, the shipping market records seasonal freight fluctuations and adjustments in vessel capacity on many international routes. This makes tracking prices and vessel schedules more important than ever.<br \/>\nVnEconomy<br \/>\n+2<br \/>\nVASEP<br \/>\n+2<\/p>\n<p>This article will help businesses understand how to build quotes, how to search for vessel schedules, and solutions to optimize costs when using international shipping services.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What does a Door-to-Door freight quote include?<\/h2>\n<p>Door-to-door service covers the entire process from the pickup point to the final delivery point.

These fluctuations can significantly change freight quotes.<\/p>\n<p>For example, Ocean Farm Company in Ca Mau switched from transshipment via Singapore to a direct route to Busan, helping to reduce transit time by 5 days. Binh Minh Foods Company in Long An booked 3 weeks early before the peak season and saved nearly 8%.<\/p>\n<div class='wp-block-table'>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Online<\/th>\n<th>Transit Time<\/th>\n<th>Stable<\/th>\n<th>Recommendation<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Cat Lai \u2013 Shanghai<\/td>\n<td>4-6 days<\/td>\n<td>Infrastructure<\/td>\n<td>Agricultural products<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Cat Lai \u2013 Singapore<\/td>\n<td>2-4 days<\/td>\n<td>Infrastructure<\/td>\n<td>General cargo<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Hai Phong \u2013 Los Angeles<\/td>\n<td>18-25 days<\/td>\n<td>Standard-compliant, inspected<\/td>\n<td>Export to USA<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Cat Lai \u2013 Rotterdam<\/td>\n<td>25-35 days<\/td>\n<td>Standard-compliant, inspected<\/td>\n<td>EU<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p>HNT LOGISTICS recommends that businesses combine shipping schedule data and demand forecasts to optimize export shipping costs in the long term.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Freight quotes associated with full-service export procedures<\/h2>\n<p>Logistics costs do not just come from transportation.
