International Payments & Logistics in Haiphong

Managing Cross-Border Transfers and Cargo in Vietnam’s Northern Port Hub

Haiphong is Vietnam’s third-largest city and the country’s most important seaport in the north. Strategically positioned near Hanoi and the Chinese border, it serves as a central gateway for industrial exports, manufacturing imports, and foreign direct investment in northern Vietnam. With its robust port infrastructure, special economic zones (SEZs), and growing logistics network, Haiphong attracts global businesses—but also presents regulatory and procedural challenges for cross-border payments and freight operations.

We provide comprehensive international payments and logistics support for businesses operating in and through Haiphong. Our services include legal structuring of international payments, preparation of bilingual contracts, submission of bank filings, and full coordination of import/export logistics via Haiphong Port. Whether you’re a factory receiving raw materials, an exporter of industrial goods, or a service firm with international clients, we ensure your transactions move securely, legally, and efficiently.

Why Haiphong Requires a Structured Compliance Approach

Haiphong is governed by Vietnam’s national foreign exchange and customs frameworks, but local implementation is handled by regional banks and port authorities. All inbound and outbound payments must be declared with purpose-aligned contracts and documentation that reflect registered business activities. Banks and customs officers in Haiphong apply strict reviews to high-volume transfers, capital inflows, and commercial cargo declarations.

Given the heavy use of Haiphong Port for containerized goods, importers and exporters must ensure every shipment includes correct HS codes, licenses, and valuation. Payment mismatches, undeclared FX flows, or customs violations can lead to costly delays, holds, or fines. Our on-the-ground experience ensures compliance with local procedures, financial regulations, and logistics standards.

Receiving International Payments in Haiphong

Any foreign currency transferred into Vietnam must be received through an authorized Vietnamese bank and backed by a legally valid purpose. In Haiphong, branches of Vietcombank, BIDV, Techcombank, and ACB handle most business transactions. These banks require documentation that proves the link between incoming funds, registered business activities, and tax reporting.

We assist with:

• Export revenues for factories producing garments, electronics, or machinery
• Project funding for infrastructure and logistics operators
• Payments for digital or technical services delivered to overseas clients
• Capital contributions from foreign investors

Our services include:

• Drafting bilingual contracts (English–Vietnamese) aligned with SBV requirements
• Coordinating FX receipt processes with Haiphong-based banks
• Linking inflows to declared revenue and business license codes
• Ensuring tax reporting reflects the nature and amount of the transfer

We eliminate the risk of blocked funds or rejected transactions by ensuring the legal and financial chain is fully traceable and documented.

Sending International Payments from Haiphong

Outward international transfers must be supported by legal contracts, correct purpose codes, and, in many cases, tax clearance. Banks in Haiphong require full documentation before processing payments abroad. Whether paying suppliers, service providers, or royalties, every detail must match SBV and tax office rules.

We support:

• Import payments for industrial inputs, raw materials, or packaging
• Consulting, licensing, or subscription services from foreign partners
• FDI companies remitting dividends or intra-company charges
• Educational or corporate training-related expenses abroad

Our outbound payment services include:

• Drafting legally compliant contracts and payment instructions
• Filing bank forms, including Form A2 and purpose codes
• Aligning all documentation with enterprise tax declarations
• Coordinating with banks to ensure timely FX approval and disbursement

We prevent common issues such as payment rejection, FX mismatches, or tax inconsistencies by managing the entire outbound process.

Importing Goods Through Haiphong Port

Haiphong Port is one of Vietnam’s largest and busiest seaports, handling container traffic for northern industrial zones. Importers must pre-file declarations through the VNACCS/VCIS customs system and ensure all cargo is matched with legal contracts and invoices. Regulated goods (such as chemicals, food, or machinery) often require additional approvals.

We assist importers with:

• Accurate HS code classification and duty/tax estimation
• Preparation of commercial invoices, packing lists, and bills of lading
• Obtaining import licenses and safety compliance certificates
• Coordinating with customs officers, port handlers, and freight forwarders

From bonded warehouse coordination to local delivery, we ensure imported cargo arrives without unnecessary cost or delay.

Exporting Goods and Services from Haiphong

Haiphong’s economy is built around exports. The city is home to export-processing zones (EPZs) and industrial parks producing garments, plastics, electronics, steel, and more. Exporters must align every shipment with customs declarations and register FX inflows as part of their enterprise tax records.

We support exporters in:

• Creating export contracts, invoices, and shipping documentation
• Registering shipments and obtaining Certificates of Origin (COs)
• Ensuring export revenue is received through compliant bank accounts
• Linking income to VAT filings and export tax rebate programs

We also help digital exporters — such as engineering services, software firms, and R&D labs — document service delivery and legally receive foreign payments.

Foreign Exchange Strategy and Tax Compliance

Vietnam’s FX regime is controlled by the SBV, and companies must declare all foreign currency earnings and payments. Conversions must happen through licensed banks, and tax implications must be carefully considered. In Haiphong, bank officers and local tax authorities work closely to verify that income and expenses are properly declared.

We assist businesses with:

• Invoicing in foreign currencies with legal backup
• Structuring payment timing and contract value to reduce FX risk
• Filing SBV declarations and income reports
• Coordinating with local accountants and legal advisors

Our guidance helps companies avoid underreporting income, triggering audits, or suffering FX losses due to poor timing or documentation gaps.
