Quick Answers

Is Vietnamese formwork plywood accepted under French building regulations?
Yes, when it carries CE marking under EN 13986. Vinawood's formwork products are manufactured to EN 636-2 and EN 636-3 standards, comply with EN 13986 for CE marking, and meet E1 formaldehyde emission requirements — all prerequisites for use in French construction under NF DTU 21. No additional national certification beyond CE marking is required for structural plywood panels in France.
What is the shipping time from Vietnam to French ports?
Ocean transit from Ho Chi Minh City to Le Havre takes 28–35 days, and to Marseille/Fos-sur-Mer 22–28 days. Add 5–10 days for port handling and last-mile delivery. Total lead time from order confirmation to site delivery is typically 35–45 days. Planning 6–8 weeks ahead of your pour schedule ensures timely delivery.
What is contreplaqué coffrage?
Contreplaqué coffrage is the French term for formwork plywood — plywood panels used to create temporary moulds for pouring concrete. In French construction, you may also encounter 'panneau de coffrage' (formwork panel), 'contreplaqué filmé' (film-faced plywood), and 'banche' (a complete wall formwork assembly including frame and plywood facing).
How much can I save by importing formwork plywood from Vietnam vs buying locally in France?
Factory-direct pricing from Vietnam is typically 20–35% below French domestic retail for equivalent EN-certified panels. The EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA) has eliminated tariffs on most Vietnamese plywood exports to the EU, further reducing landed cost. Savings are most significant on container-volume orders of 42–48 panels or more per 20 ft container.
