How do I import plywood from Vietnam?
Shortlist mills by product family and the certs your port actually asks for. Confirm the invoice name owns a press. Order samples, then send one RFQ with thickness, overlay, glue class in writing, core, Incoterms, and an inspection house. Pay with an L/C at sight or a deposit T/T against the bill of lading. Book SGS, Intertek, or Bureau Veritas before the doors close.
Who is the largest plywood manufacturer in Vietnam?
No public ranking is worth an RFQ. Mills sit in the north and the south. Some press formwork. Some press interior hardwood. Match spec, destination paper, and a volume you can inspect. Vinawood has pressed since 1992 and ships about 5,000 containers a year. We will not name other plants for you to email.
Which brands have factories in Vietnam?
Plenty of labels sit on Vietnamese sheets. The useful test is who owns the hot press. Ask for a live floor walk-through and a mill address you can map. Vinawood is a factory-direct exporter. Trading desks can still be useful later. They are a poor first filter when glue class and face film are still open.
What is the price of Vietnam plywood per square foot?
This page does not publish sheet prices. A quote follows thickness, overlay, glue class, core, certs, and the load port. A 40-foot high-cube of 18 mm, 2440 × 1220 mm sheets is usually weight-limited, on the order of 540–620 sheets. Send the spec pack if you want a mill number, not a directory listing.
How do I tell a real mill from a trader?
Factories issue their own packing lists and mill test reports. Traders reuse someone else's. Date-stamped panels on the press and a mapped mill address are the cheap tests. Vague answers on daily sheets or lead time are a pause. Do not wire a full T/T deposit to a company that will not show the floor.
What specs belong on every Vietnam mill RFQ?
Write it for a mill chemist. Thickness in mm. Face and back grade. Overlay type and gsm if you buy film-faced. Core species and whether the core is combi. Glue in writing. Plywood with a WBP bond is water-resistant, not waterproof. Formwork reuse is "up to N" cycles. Class 3 phenolic core at Vinawood sits on Pro Form and HDO, not Form Extra.
