HOW IS ELEVATOR IMPORTED TO VIETNAM?

Our country imports many types of elevators with different purposes. Typically: elevators, escalators, telescopic ladders, conveyors, etc. The vast majority of distribution and manufacturing companies in Vietnam cannot manufacture elevators themselves. Therefore, importing is the most optimal method used until now.

There are two main ways to import elevators to Vietnam:

• Firstly, the elevator is imported in CBU. Enterprises or Trading companies often import fully manufactured elevators from firms. These shipments are often higher in value, easier to deliver and distribute.
• Second, Joint venture import. You can simply understand, each part and component is imported into the manufacturer’s country to make a complete elevator and sold directly in the domestic market or exported to foreign countries. This import method is often applied by manufacturing companies.
