Our team focuses on quality and transparency, providing detailed condition reports and handling all export certifications. For Vietnam, we ensure your Komatsu excavator meets import requirements and arrives in working condition.
Machine Condition and the 150-Point Inspection
Every used Komatsu excavator undergoes a rigorous 150-point pre-shipment inspection. This covers engine, hydraulics, undercarriage, electrical systems, and structural components. We verify actual working hours and use paint-thickness checks to detect any prior repairs or repainting. You receive a comprehensive report with photos and video, so you know exactly what you are buying before it ships. This transparency minimizes surprises and ensures you get a reliable machine for your projects in Vietnam.
Documents and Certifications for Vietnam
Exporting to Vietnam requires specific documentation. ExcaYard handles all necessary paperwork, including commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and certificate of origin. While Vietnam does not require SONCAP, SABER, PVoC, or GSA for used machinery, we can arrange additional certifications if needed. Our team stays updated on Vietnamese import regulations to ensure a hassle-free customs clearance. We also provide all export documents from China, including customs declaration and inspection certificates where applicable.
Payment Terms: T/T or L/C
We offer flexible payment options to suit your needs. You can pay via T/T USD wire transfer, L/C through Bank of China, or Wise. For first-time buyers, we recommend a 30% deposit with the balance before shipment, or an irrevocable L/C at sight. All transactions are secure and transparent, with clear invoices and receipts. Our finance team works with you to choose the safest and most convenient method.
Shipping Methods and Lead Time
We ship from major Chinese ports: Shanghai, Ningbo, Qingdao, and Tianjin. For Vietnam, we offer RoRo (Roll-on/Roll-off), container, and flat-rack shipping. RoRo is ideal for larger excavators that can be driven on and off the vessel. Container shipping is cost-effective for smaller machines, while flat-rack is suitable for oversized units. Typical CIF lead time is 28–45 days port-to-port, depending on the port of departure and destination. We handle all logistics, including inland transport in China and ocean freight, and provide you with tracking updates.

Import Duties and Regulations in Vietnam
Vietnam imposes import duties and VAT on used construction machinery. The exact rates depend on the machine's age, model, and customs valuation. Typically, used excavators attract import duty and 10% VAT. We recommend working with a local customs broker in Vietnam to handle clearance. ExcaYard provides all necessary documents to facilitate the process. Note that Vietnam has restrictions on importing certain used equipment older than a specified age; we can advise on compliant models.
