–          By Air Freight

Air freight from India to Vietnam is significantly faster than ocean shipping, with consignments typically taking from 2- 4 days to reach their destination. It should be noted that air freight is more expensive than shipping by sea, especially for consignments weighing 100kg or more.

SM Global provide air service from Vietnam to India for some routes as below:

HAN/SGN – DEL (Noibai / Tan Son Nhat – Delhi)

HAN/SGN – BOM (Noibai / Tan Son Nhat – Mumbai)

HAN/SGN – BLR (Noibai / Tan Son Nhat – Bangalore)

HAN/SGN – COK (Noibai / Tan Son Nhat – Kochi)

HAN/SGN – CCU (Noibai / Tan Son Nhat – Kolkata)

 –          By sea freight

Shipment by sea is suitable for heavy items with big volumes and its shipping time is slower compared to transportation by air, however, the sea freight is cheaper as well. Normally, the transit time from VietNam to India is about 15 – 40 days, depending on ship service being direct or transit. There are many ocean lines that provide this route such as: MCC, MSC, YML,OOCL, COSCO, WANHAI, CMA CGM, MOL, HAPAG LLOYD.
