Garlic Supplier Export to Vietnam

Trusted Chinese garlic supplier serving Vietnamese importers with premium fresh garlic and dehydrated products shipped from Qingdao to Ho Chi Minh City.

Why Vietnam Imports Garlic from China

Vietnam is both a garlic producer and importer, with domestic cultivation concentrated in the northern highland provinces. However, domestic output of approximately 25,000-30,000 tons per year falls well short of the growing demand driven by Vietnam's thriving food processing industry, restaurant sector, and household consumption. Chinese garlic complements domestic supply by offering consistent volume, standardized sizing, and competitive pricing that Vietnamese producers cannot match at scale. The overland and maritime trade routes between China and Vietnam are well-established, with transit times among the shortest in the region. Vietnamese importers particularly value Chinese normal white garlic for its strong flavor profile, which suits the bold, aromatic cuisine of Vietnam. Additionally, the dehydrated garlic segment has seen rapid growth as Vietnamese food manufacturers expand their production of sauces, seasonings, and instant food products for both domestic and export markets.

Garlic Import FAQ — Vietnam

What documents are required to import garlic into Vietnam?
Garlic imports into Vietnam require a phytosanitary certificate from the exporting country, a Certificate of Origin (CO), and customs declaration documents. Vietnam's Plant Protection Department conducts inspection upon arrival. We provide complete export documentation including Phytosanitary Certificate, CO, fumigation certificate, and commercial invoice. For preferential tariff treatment under the ASEAN-China FTA, we can issue an ASEAN-China Form E certificate of origin.
Can I get ASEAN-China FTA preferential tariff rates for garlic imports?
Yes. Under the ASEAN-China Free Trade Area (ACFTA) agreement, Chinese garlic exported to Vietnam with a valid Form E Certificate of Origin qualifies for preferential tariff rates. The standard MFN tariff on garlic is 20%, but the ACFTA rate can be significantly lower. We assist with Form E issuance and ensure all documentation meets Vietnamese customs requirements so you can benefit from reduced import duties.
Can you ship garlic to northern Vietnam as well as Ho Chi Minh City?
Yes. While Ho Chi Minh City (Cat Lai) is our primary destination port for southern Vietnam, we also ship to Hai Phong port for importers in Hanoi and northern provinces. Transit time to Hai Phong is approximately 10-12 days from Qingdao. For smaller urgent shipments, overland transport via the China-Vietnam border at Hekou or Pingxiang is also available.
