Principles

Three things Minh Châu holds to

Landed price, not piecemeal pricingThe customer sees one figure covering goods, freight, taxes and formalities — avoiding extra charges at later stages.

Documents prepared before the cargo shipsOne missing declaration or C/O and the cargo sits at the port; the document list is fixed at signing.

Taxes are part of the planThe HS code and the applicable agreement determine the real cost; they are checked and confirmed before quoting.
