Shipping to Vietnam from Australia
When shipping a 20FT or 40FT container (FCL) to Vietnam you are paying a fixed sea-freight rate (subject to USD/AUD exchange rate/s) and may fill up as little or as much of the sole-purpose container as you wish.
With this type of service, the container space is not shared with other cargoes and your goods are not handled from one container to another at several points during transit such as is the case with shared container services (LCL), rather, the goods stay in the same container they were packed at origin, until delivery at the final destination.
What size shipping container do I need for moving my personal effects to Vietnam?
- 20FT shipping containers have inner dimensions as follows and a capacity of 33m3//1,158cubic feet:
5.90m x 2.35m x 2.38m // 19.35 ft x 7.71 ft x 7.80 ft - 20FT containers are usually sufficient for an entire 2-3 bedroom house contents
- 40FT shipping containers have inner dimensions as follows and have a capacity of 67m3//2,372cubic feet:
12.01m x 2.35m x 2.38m // 39.39 ft x 7.71 ft x 7.80 ft - 40FT containers are usually sufficient for an entire 2-3 bedroom house contents and a motor vehicle, or, an entire 4-5 bedroom house contents.

12.01m x 2.35m x 2.69m // 39.39 ft x 7.71 ft x 8.82 ft - 40HC containers are 30cm//1foot higher than a standard 40FT container and are designed for when that little bit of extra space is needed for excess cargoes.
What if I wish to ship only a smaller volume of goods to Vietnam?
If you wish to send only boxes and/or minimal amounts of furniture, our shared container services (LCL) may be the best option for you.
The minimal charge in our shared container services is 1m3//cubic metre, equivalent to approximately 10 standard moving cartons (tea-chest size), these cartons are 43cm x 41cm x 60cm each. See our LCL page here for more information about this type of shipping service.
