How to Source Wholesale Bond Paper in Vietnam

Vietnam has local paper producers, but many companies, especially foreign-invested manufacturers, specify international brands or want a second supply source. Here is how to approach importing.

When importing makes sense

• Your customers or head office specify a particular international brand.
• You want a mixed-brand container to offer customers more choice.
• You need a backup source when local supply is tight.

Choosing ports

Southern buyers usually import through Cat Lai or Cai Mep–Thi Vai, northern buyers through Hai Phong, and central buyers through Da Nang.

Customs and documents

Import duty and VAT depend on the HS code and country of origin. Preferential tariffs under trade agreements depend on the goods' actual origin and certificates, so confirm with your customs agent. Tell us the documents you need when you request a quotation.

Freight terms

Orders of 1,600 boxes or more qualify for free international delivery, subject to the confirmed destination, shipping arrangement, customs, duties, taxes and import requirements, as stated in your quotation.

See our Vietnam page and submit an international bulk order enquiry.

Pricing in USD for Vietnamese buyers

Approximate USD equivalents: standard 80 GSM A4 is about US$9.77 per box and premium about US$9.85 (at ₱63.47 = US$1, 3 Nov 2026). Volume discounts: 5% from 250 boxes and 10% from 1,000 boxes.

Serving FDI manufacturers

Foreign-invested manufacturers in Binh Duong, Dong Nai, Bac Ninh and Hai Phong often specify a head-office paper brand for audits, export documents and quality records. A mixed container can cover several customers' brand requirements.

Documents to agree in the quotation

• Commercial invoice and packing list
• Bill of lading
• Any certificate of origin or other documents your customs agent requires, confirmed in advance

When importing beats buying locally

Vietnam has strong domestic paper production. Importing makes sense when a customer specifies a particular international brand, when you need a mixed-brand range for distribution, or when local supply is tight before peak periods. Compare landed cost against local offers using the same specification and packaging.

Specifications Vietnamese buyers ask for

• A4 70 GSM for general office use, and A4 80 GSM for corporate and FDI documentation
• Brightness requirements for premium documents, stated on the correct scale
• Boxes per pallet and pallet height for warehouse planning

Logistics: south, north and central routes

Southern buyers usually discharge at Cat Lai or Cai Mep–Thi Vai and truck to Ho Chi Minh City, Binh Duong or Dong Nai. Northern buyers use Hai Phong, with a short haul to Hanoi or Bac Ninh. Central Vietnam is served through Da Nang. Our quotation confirms the routing we can arrange.
