Vietnam

Vietnam is a fast-growing manufacturing economy with good industrial infrastructure, and much of the inbound equipment is tied to factory fit-outs rather than to standalone purchases. That tends to mean multi-unit orders with a fixed installation date.

Direct answer

For Vietnam, the electrical side is standard and the emphasis falls on delivery sequencing, because equipment is often tied to a factory fit-out date. Multi-unit orders are common, so confirm the loading plan for the whole order rather than unit by unit, and confirm the installation date against the shipment schedule.
