Precision CNC Machining in Vietnam for US Companies
— Tariff-Free, 7–12 Day Lead Time
Section 301 tariffs hit 145% on Chinese imports. Vietnam sits at 0%. VNcontX ships CNC-machined parts from Ho Chi Minh City to your receiving dock — ISO 9001 certified, 100% FAI + CMM report on every order.
The Tariff Math Is Simple
Since 2018, US companies sourcing precision parts from China have absorbed Section 301 tariffs — now at 25% to 145% depending on the HTS code. That number sits on top of part price, freight, and insurance. Vietnam is not subject to Section 301. The landed cost difference on CNC-machined components typically runs 30–40% lower than equivalent China-sourced parts once tariffs are factored in.

This is why procurement teams are running China+1 strategies right now — not because Vietnam is trendy, but because the numbers work. VNcontX operates from Bình Chánh District, Ho Chi Minh City. Cat Lai Port is under 25km from the factory floor. Air freight to LAX runs 2–3 days. Sea freight to US West Coast: 18–22 days.
What We Machine — and to What Standard
VNcontX runs DMG Mori 5-axis and Mazak QT turning centers — full capability overview at our CNC machining services page. Standard tolerance is ±0.005mm. For precision-critical features, we hold ±0.003mm. Surface finish Ra 0.8μm standard, Ra 0.4μm fine. Every shipment carries a Zeiss Contura CMM report — not a visual check, actual dimensional data.

Cpk target is ≥ 1.67 on critical dimensions. If your drawing calls out GD&T controls — flatness, concentricity, true position — we inspect to those, not just ±tolerance. The CMM report ships with the parts, not on request.
