What is a Vietnam sourcing agent?

A Vietnam sourcing agent is a company based in Vietnam that helps international buyers find, verify, and manage Vietnamese manufacturers. BuyGoodsFromVietnam, operated by Primo Sourcing, acts as your on-the-ground partner β€” handling factory sourcing, supplier verification, quality control inspections, price negotiation, and shipping logistics. Our fee is typically 5–8% of the FOB order value, with no hidden markups on factory prices.

Our Vietnam Sourcing Process

Primo Sourcing follows a structured 5-step process for every sourcing project:

01

Tell Us What You Need

Share your product specifications, target price, quality standards, required certifications, quantity, and delivery timeline. We provide a free initial consultation to understand your requirements.

02

Find & Verify Suppliers

We search our 200+ factory network, identify 5-10 potential manufacturers, conduct on-site visits, and shortlist 3-5 verified factories that match your requirements. You receive a detailed comparison report.

Compare Quotes & Develop Samples

We negotiate pricing, MOQ, and payment terms with each shortlisted factory. We coordinate sample production and manage revisions until you approve the final sample.

Vietnam Sourcing Agent β€” Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a Vietnam sourcing agent charge?
Primo Sourcing charges 5–8% of the FOB order value for full sourcing services. This covers factory sourcing, supplier verification, negotiation, QC inspections, and logistics coordination. For QC-only services, we charge $180–280 USD per inspector per day. There are no hidden fees or factory price markups.
Do Vietnam sourcing agents add a markup on factory prices?
Not all sourcing agents are transparent about this. Primo Sourcing does NOT add markups to factory prices. You receive the actual manufacturer quotation, and our service fee (5–8% of FOB) is agreed separately. We believe transparent pricing builds long-term client relationships.
How long does it take to find a supplier in Vietnam?
Initial supplier identification takes 1–2 weeks. Factory visits and verification add 1–2 weeks. Sample production typically takes 2–4 weeks. Total time from inquiry to approved sample: approximately 4–8 weeks, depending on product complexity.
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for sourcing from Vietnam?
MOQs vary by product: Furniture typically 50–100 pieces, Textiles 300–500 pieces, Handicrafts 200–500 pieces, Food/Agriculture usually 1 container (18–22 MT). We can often negotiate lower MOQs for first-time buyers to reduce initial risk.
Do I need to visit Vietnam to source products?
No. Many of our clients source from Vietnam without ever visiting. We act as your on-the-ground team β€” visiting factories, attending meetings, inspecting products, and managing shipping on your behalf. For orders exceeding $50,000, we recommend an initial visit to strengthen the factory relationship.
Who owns the supplier relationship?
You do. We introduce you to the factory and facilitate the relationship. The commercial relationship is between you and the manufacturer. If you decide to work directly after the initial order, you are free to do so. Many clients keep us involved for ongoing QC and logistics.
What happens if the factory delivers defective products?
If products fail our QC inspection, we do not approve shipment. We work with the factory to identify root causes, implement corrective actions, and re-inspect. If the factory cannot resolve the issue, we help find an alternative supplier. Our QC process is designed to catch defects before shipping.
Can you consolidate orders from multiple Vietnamese factories?
Yes. We can source different products from different factories, consolidate them at a warehouse in Vietnam, and ship everything in one container. This significantly reduces shipping costs compared to multiple individual shipments.
What products can you source from Vietnam?
Vietnam excels in furniture (solid wood, rattan, bamboo), textiles & garments, handicrafts & ceramics, food & agriculture (coffee, cashew, pepper, rice), packaging materials, and industrial goods. If your product isn't listed, contact us β€” we likely have factory connections in your sector.
How do you verify Vietnamese factories?
We verify business registration against Vietnamese records, conduct on-site factory audits (production capacity, machinery, facilities, worker conditions), assess export history and supplier references, and evaluate operational stability. You receive a detailed factory audit report with photos.
