What Is Cargo Transit to Laos and Cambodia?

Cargo in transit moves across Vietnam and over the border to another country. Transit shipments also need a transit declaration and customs controls. For a full comparison, read the difference between transit cargo and cross-border cargo.

How Cross-Border Transport Runs by Truck

Trucking across a border needs close coordination with the truck operator and the right documents. So each shipment follows these stages.

Read the seven stages as text

First, plan the route and the border crossing.
Next, check and prepare the shipping documents.
Then coordinate the customs procedures.
After that, arrange the vehicles with the truck operator.
Once everything is ready, manage the border crossing.
Afterwards, deliver the cargo at the destination.
Finally, collect the record that the shipment is complete.

For transit cargo, we also add the transit declaration, customs controls, and sealing and vehicle checks where they apply. In addition, we track the cargo in transit and confirm its exit or arrival.

Ports and Border Gates on Laos and Cambodia Routes

Cross-border cargo passes through a border gate, and sea cargo first arrives at a port. The right choice depends on the cargo, the route and the destination. We plan the route and the border crossing with you before we quote.

Border gate (Vietnam side)	Crossing on the other side
Lao Bao border gate	Densavan, Laos
Cau Treo border gate	Nam Phao, Laos
Nam Giang border gate	Dak Ta Ok, Laos
Bo Y border gate	Phou Keua, Laos
Moc Bai border gate	Bavet, Cambodia

For sea freight, common Vietnamese ports include Da Nang port, Vung Ang port and Cai Mep port. Sea cargo can clear customs at the port and then continue by truck to the border gate. Our head office is in Da Nang and our Lao office is in Vientiane. Vientiane and Savannakhet are common destinations in Laos.

Door to Door Delivery to Laos and Cambodia

A door to door service delivers cargo from the shipper’s origin point to the consignee’s destination. You do not need to arrange separate pickup or final-mile transport. For cross-border cargo, one team coordinates the pick-up, the border crossing and the delivery.

Our end-to-end coordination covers scheduling and tracking, so you can monitor the transportation process. Your Incoterms decide where the seller’s duty ends. Rules such as DAP and DDP define delivery responsibilities between buyer and seller. For other transport modes and customs clearance, see our multimodal transport and customs brokerage service.

What We Need to Plan a Cross-Border Transport Shipment

To start, please send the following details.

Goods: name, HS code, quantity, weight, packaging and cargo value.
Carriage: Incoterms, route, border gate, and pick-up and delivery addresses.
Timing: the ready date, expected departure and arrival, and the deadline.
Customs: transit, export or import, and the declaration type.
Extra services: certificate of origin (C/O), insurance and specialist inspection.
Parties: the shipper, the consignee, the notify party and any authorized agent.

Because every shipment is different, we quote each one after we receive these details.

What Affects Shipping Cost from Vietnam to Laos and Cambodia

We quote each shipment after we receive its details. The main factors are the route and border gate, the weight and packaging of the cargo, the Incoterms, the customs type (transit, export or import), extra services such as certificate of origin (C/O) and insurance, and the timing you need. For a breakdown of what a quote includes, read our guide to door to door freight cost.
