Professional Sourcing Agent — Vietnam

Vietnam’s professional sourcing partner.

We find and audit factories in Vietnam for dried fruit, dried vegetables & nutrition bars based on exactly what you need, check every production batch against your approved sample, and prepare the full export paperwork — from certificate of origin to phytosanitary clearance and the commercial contract — before the shipment leaves port.

Common concerns

Important questions to consider when you’re looking to source from Vietnam

Will the shipment actually match the sample I approved?
Before the container is sealed, we inspect the finished batch on site, check it directly against your approved sample, and send photos and video for you to review first.
Does this factory actually hold the certifications my customs office asks for?
We select factories based on exactly the certifications your destination market requires, so every shortlist already matches your customs requirements, rather than whatever certificate a factory happens to have on hand.
Am I paying a hidden markup somewhere in this price?
Every quote shows two clear numbers — factory cost and our service fee — so you always know exactly what your purchase costs.
Can I get a straight answer without a week’s delay?
We always aim to make sure your requests get a detailed response within 48 hours; if a question needs to go through the factory or the freight forwarder, we stay on top of it to keep things moving for you.
Do I have to commit to a full container just to try this?
You can start with a trial order sized to your needs, enough to test market response before committing to a full container.
If something goes wrong mid-shipment, who actually deals with it?
We have a dedicated team ready to handle anything that comes up — from placing the order and selecting the factory, through production and shipping, all the way to delivery.
Core values
01

Just three categories

We only work in dried fruit, dried vegetables and nutrition bars. That narrow scope means we catch a moisture spec or a wrong number fast, before it reaches you.

02

Transparent, itemized pricing

Every factory we recommend has been visited in person, and every quote separates factory cost from our service fee, so you know exactly what a shipment costs.

03

A long-term partner

We see every order as the start of a longer relationship — from reorders and seasonal price shifts to new product ideas as your needs change.

Why work with Vietfinest

Built on production-floor experience, not a sales pitch.

Vietfinest is run by a team with hands-on experience across Vietnam’s food production and export process — factory audits, quality control, and the certification paperwork each destination market expects. That experience shapes a simple standard behind every recommendation: a factory earns a place in our network through an in-person visit, not just a certificate on file.

“A certificate tells you what a factory claims. A site visit tells you what it can actually deliver. That’s why we always choose to show up in person.” — Founding Team, Vietfinest
Compliance

Key certifications in the industry

Very few factories hold every certification at once, so we always match you with a factory that fits your destination market’s compliance requirements.

Certification names link to the issuing body’s official page. Read more on the Quality & Certifications page.

Our commitment

What you can expect on every order, not just the first one.

Pre-shipment sample match

Every batch is checked against your approved sample on site, before you pay the balance and before it leaves the warehouse.

Strict quality control

Every batch is quality-checked against agreed standards before it leaves the factory, so what you receive always matches what was promised.

Clear process, timely support

Every step of the ordering process is clearly communicated, and our team is always ready to help quickly whenever you need it.

FAQ

Questions buyers ask before their first order.

What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?

It depends on the product and factory, typically starting from 100kg for trial orders. For full-container (FCL) orders, MOQ is agreed individually with each factory.

How do I know the shipment will match the approved sample?

We inspect the finished batch on-site before shipment, checking it directly against your approved sample, and send photo/video confirmation before the container leaves.

How is Vietfinest’s service fee structured?

We quote real factory cost plus a disclosed service fee — you always know exactly what you’re paying for, with no hidden markup built into the unit price.

Can you support HALAL, FDA, or Organic certification requirements?

Yes. We prioritize factories that already hold the relevant certification, or help coordinate the certification process if the factory is eligible. See the Quality & Certifications page for details by market.

What’s the realistic lead time?

Typically 15–30 days from confirmed order to FOB-ready, depending on product, volume and seasonal raw material availability.

Do you offer private label or custom packaging (OEM)?

Yes, for select factories with the capacity — this is most flexible for nutrition bars, where formulation and packaging can be adjusted. Private-label options for dried fruit and vegetables vary by producer; ask us directly for your product.

Which Incoterms do you work with?

Most orders are quoted FOB from a Vietnamese port. CIF and other terms can be arranged on request.

Do you visit factories in person, or only review their paperwork?

In person. Certificates get us to a shortlist; a site visit is what actually confirms whether a factory can deliver at your required spec and volume.

What happens if a finished batch doesn’t meet the agreed spec?

It doesn’t ship. We flag the deviation, walk you through the options — rework, partial acceptance, or switching factories — and you decide before anything leaves the facility.

Is there a minimum contract length or exclusivity requirement?

No. Each order stands on its own. We’d rather earn a second order than lock you into a first one.

Why not just work directly with a factory?

You can — but you’ll need to independently vet factory capability, manage language and time-zone gaps, and absorb the risk if something goes wrong. Vietfinest takes on that coordination and accountability for you.
