Vietnam belongs to the category of developing countries and is an important neighbor of China, Laos and Cambodia. Since the 21st century, economic growth has accelerated significantly and the investment environment has gradually improved. In recent years, it has had very frequent trade exchanges with surrounding countries. China mainly supplies electronic parts, machinery and equipment, textile and leather materials to Vietnam. This shows that its foreign trade market has huge development potential, and if it can be used rationally, there will be great There is room for profit, but related companies also need to pay attention to the following issues in the process of developing Vietnam’s foreign trade market:

1 Pay attention to the accumulation of contacts

Whether they can maintain close and friendly relationships with their partners is the key to success. If you want to open up Vietnam's foreign trade market, you don't have to spend millions to build a brand effect, but you need to maintain close relationships with people in the business field. It can be said that the prerequisite for business is to talk about relationships. Vietnamese people hardly deal with unfamiliar strangers. It would be difficult to do business in Vietnam without a certain network of contacts. When Vietnamese people do business, they have their own fixed circle.

If you want to do business in Vietnam, you must hire a local professional translator to avoid poor communication. Vietnam borders China, and there are many Chinese on the Sino-Vietnamese border. Not only can they communicate in Chinese, but even Chinese currency can circulate freely. The locals in Vietnam observe the etiquette very much and have many taboos. In the process of going deep into the local foreign trade, relevant personnel need to understand all the taboos in detail so as not to violate them. For example, Vietnamese people do not like to be touched on their heads, even children.

In order to avoid the above situation, it is necessary to provide complete information during the customs clearance process, including the product name, model and specific quantity, etc., to ensure that all reported information is consistent with the actual information. once there is a deviation, it will be This leads to problems in customs clearance, which in turn causes delays.

4 Be calm and cope well

When doing foreign trade business is extremely large, they will deal with Westerners. The most obvious thing about Westerners doing business is their high degree of rigor, and they like to act according to established plans. But the Vietnamese are different. Although they recognize and appreciate the Western style of behavior, they are not willing to follow suit. Vietnamese people will be more casual in the process of doing business and do not act according to the prescribed plan, so they must maintain a calm and calm state in the process of interacting with them, so as to respond flexibly.
