In the era of global economic integration, comprehensive import export services have become a key driver helping Vietnamese businesses expand markets and optimize their supply chains. With professionalism and deep experience, PTN Logistics proudly delivers end-to-end Iiport export services that save time and cost—so you can focus on your core operations.
What are comprehensive import export services?
A comprehensive Import Export service is an all-inclusive model where a professional logistics company manages every aspect of shipping goods across international borders, from the point of origin to the final destination.
Unlike the traditional approach where a business must find and coordinate with multiple different partners, our comprehensive service provides a single, “turnkey” solution.
This means the service provider takes primary responsibility for the entire supply chain, including but not limited to: international transportation, customs clearance, inland transportation, and other value-added services.
The ultimate goal is to simplify the process, optimize costs, and ensure that goods are transported safely, on time, and in full compliance with all legal regulations.
Import Export Services
What’s included in PTN Logistics’ End-to-End import export services?
We are a trusted partner offering a diverse, in-depth ecosystem of import export services designed to meet demanding business needs. We commit to supporting you from the very first step until the goods reach the consignee.
International transportation services
With an extensive global partner network, PTN Logistics provides a variety of flexible and optimized international transportation modes:
Air Freight
Air freight utilizes cargo aircraft as the primary means of transport. It is the ideal choice for high-value shipments, perishable goods, or consignments with urgent delivery deadlines
We have established strategic partnerships with leading international air carriers, ensuring stable flight frequencies, the capacity to handle diverse cargo types, and superior transit speeds.
Our primary goal is to meet the air shipping demands of import-export businesses, effectively solving challenges related to delivery time, cargo integrity, and compliance with aviation customs procedures.
Sea Freight
Sea freight is one of the most popular import export services favored by businesses. This method involves transporting goods by vessel along international maritime routes.
This mode of transport is highly cost-effective for large-volume, oversized, or bulky cargo, as well as for hazardous materials that require strict safety standards and where transit time is not a critical factor.
Furthermore, compared to air freight, sea freight offers significant cost savings and provides flexible shipping capabilities on a global scale.
Road Transport
Road freight is a flexible, fast, and cost-effective transportation solution suitable for a wide range of needs, from domestic distribution to cross-border shipping. With extensive network coverage and flexible scheduling, it is a leading choice for businesses in the modern supply chain, especially when integrated with other import export services.
The main purpose of road freight is to ensure goods are transported with maximum flexibility, offering door-to-door delivery and cost optimization. This method is perfect for businesses needing to move goods from warehouse to warehouse, factory to port, or directly to the end customer, effectively supporting the entire Import Export service chain.
