Cost Advantage

Vietnam vs. China: Landed Cost for Sheet Metal Parts

Fabricated sheet metal parts from China are classified under HTS Chapter 73 — most categories carry a 25% Section 301 tariff surcharge on entry into the US. Structural components and assemblies in some categories have seen rates up to 145%. Vietnamese-origin parts are not subject to Section 301. Certificate of Origin (CO Form B) issues with every shipment.

On a typical enclosure bracket order — 304 stainless, laser cut and bent, powder coated — landed cost from Vietnam runs 30–40% below equivalent Chinese supply after accounting for tariff differential and comparable freight rates. EVFTA covers EU-bound shipments with reduced or zero duty. AANZFTA covers Australian buyers with preferential tariff rates.

Cat Lai Port is 20km from our facility. Tan Son Nhat Airport is 25km. Air freight to LAX or SFO: 2–3 days. Sea freight to US West Coast: 18–22 days. Sea to Sydney or Melbourne: 10–14 days.

FAQ

Sheet Metal Fabrication — Common Questions

What sheet metal thickness range do you handle?
We process sheet metal from 0.5mm to 12mm depending on material and process. Aluminum (5052-H32, 6061-T6) and cold-rolled steel cover the full range. Stainless 316 is available from 0.8mm upward. For thicknesses outside this range, contact us at duc.nguyen@vncontx.com — we evaluate on a per-job basis with our tooling partners.
What tolerance can you hold on laser-cut and bent parts?
Laser cutting: ±0.1mm on cut profile standard, ±0.05mm on precision runs. CNC press brake bending: ±0.5° angular tolerance standard, ±0.3° on precision setups. Hole-to-hole positional tolerance: ±0.15mm. All FAI parts are measured on Mitutoyo CMM and the report is issued before shipment.
What is the minimum order quantity for sheet metal fabrication?
No minimum order quantity. We run single-piece prototypes through to production batches of 10,000+ parts under the same ISO 9001:2015 quality system. Prototype pricing applies to 1–10 pieces; production pricing kicks in from 11 pieces onward. For sheet metal prototyping with tight schedules, 3–5 day turnaround is available on most standard materials.
Do you quote complete sheet metal assemblies with welding and hardware?
Yes. Send your assembly drawing and BOM — we quote laser cutting, bending, MIG/TIG welding, PEM hardware insertion, and surface finishing as a single line item. One PO, one contact, one shipment. Post-weld operations (grinding, passivation, powder coat) are included in the assembly quote.
What is the lead time for sheet metal fabrication?
Standard lead time is 5–10 business days from drawing approval. Prototypes (1–10 pieces, no finishing) can ship in 3–5 days. Production runs with powder coating or plating add 2–3 days for finishing. Air freight from HCMC to US West Coast or Sydney is 2–3 days on top of production time.
Are there Section 301 tariffs on sheet metal parts from Vietnam?
No. Vietnamese-origin sheet metal fabrication is not subject to US Section 301 tariffs. Chinese-origin fabricated metal parts currently carry 25–145% additional duty depending on HTS classification. Vietnam-manufactured parts ship under standard MFN rates. Certificate of Origin (CO Form B) is issued with every shipment.
Can you match a Pantone or RAL color for powder coating?
Yes. We match to the full RAL Classic and RAL Design system, and to Pantone references for powder coat on steel, aluminum, and stainless steel. Provide your RAL or Pantone code on the drawing or PO. First-article color approval samples are available on request before production run.
What file formats do you accept for sheet metal quotes?
STEP and DXF are preferred for CNC laser cutting and bending programs. SolidWorks (.SLDPRT), IGES, and PDF drawings with flat-pattern dimensions are also accepted. For bent parts, include bend allowance tables or K-factor specification if you have them — otherwise our DFM team will confirm assumptions before cutting.
