Why Vietnam Wins

Vietnam's Manufacturing Advantage

$0 Section 301 Tariff

✅ USTR Verified

Vietnam-origin goods are completely exempt from China's Section 301 tariffs. What costs $125+ landed from China costs significantly less from Vietnam — that difference goes straight to your margin.

16+ Active Free Trade Agreements

✅ CPTPP · EVFTA · RCEP

Vietnam's FTA network gives preferential market access to the EU, Japan, South Korea, Australia, Canada, and more — not just the US. For global buyers, Vietnam is one of the most trade-connected manufacturing countries in Asia.

Deep Industrial Manufacturing Base

✅ 50+ Processes Available

Vietnam's factories have matured well beyond garments and electronics assembly. Today's Vietnam can do precision CNC machining, aluminum die casting, complex weldments, injection molding, and electronics manufacturing to international standards.

Est. 30–50% Lower Landed Cost

✅ Defensible Range

When you account for competitive factory pricing plus eliminated Section 301 tariffs, Vietnam regularly delivers 30–50% lower total landed costs vs. equivalent China production.

China Plus One — FAQ for Global Buyers

Answers to the questions buyers ask when considering Vietnam as their C+1 destination.

Why is Vietnam the best China Plus One manufacturing destination?
Vietnam offers a unique combination: $0 Section 301 tariffs, 16+ Free Trade Agreements, competitive factory pricing, a skilled and growing industrial workforce, and deep manufacturing experience across CNC machining, die casting, sheet metal, injection molding, electronics assembly, and more. Dewin's network of 178+ audited factories means buyers don't have to start from scratch.
What manufacturing processes are available in Vietnam?
Vietnam's manufacturing base covers 50+ processes: CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, die casting (aluminum, zinc), injection molding, stamping, aluminum extrusion, investment casting, welding & weldments, electronics assembly, PCB manufacturing, textiles, furniture, and more. Dewin's 178+ audited factories collectively cover all major industrial manufacturing categories.
How does Dewin audit Vietnam factories?
Every factory in Dewin's network is evaluated using a 50-point Dolphin audit covering: quality management system, equipment capability and age, production capacity and utilization, compliance and certifications, and communication/management quality. Audits include physical site visits, equipment photography, and team interviews. Results are scored and tracked over time.
What Free Trade Agreements cover Vietnam exports?
Vietnam is party to 16+ Free Trade Agreements including CPTPP (covering Japan, Canada, Australia, New Zealand), EVFTA (EU-Vietnam FTA), RCEP (Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership), bilateral FTAs with the US, Japan, South Korea, and more. This gives Vietnam-origin goods preferential tariff rates in most major global markets.
How long does it take to qualify a new Vietnam factory?
Using Dewin's pre-audited factory network, qualification time is significantly reduced. Initial factory match: 1–3 days. RFQ and quote: 3–7 days. T1 sample: 2–4 weeks depending on process complexity. First production run: typically 4–8 weeks after sample approval. Total from first contact to production: approximately 2–4 months for most industrial parts.
What US tariffs apply to Vietnam-origin goods vs China-origin goods?
Vietnam-origin goods carry $0 Section 301 tariff, while many China-origin manufactured goods are subject to 25% Section 301 tariffs. To qualify as Vietnam-origin, parts must undergo substantial transformation in Vietnam — Dewin's Pillar 5 export compliance audit verifies each factory's genuine manufacturing and Certificate of Origin capability, protecting buyers from transshipment risk.
Who manages quality and delivery on the ground in Vietnam?
Dewin's own on-ground team, based in Ho Chi Minh City, Binh Duong, and Hanoi, performs factory audits, in-process QC, and pre-shipment inspections in person. Commercially, buyers contract with Dewin's US-registered Delaware LLC, and orders can ship DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) — one accountable party from purchase order to your dock.
