Forwarding fee is $14.99 per outbound package, plus actual carrier shipping with no markup. Hanoi is a high-demand destination among the Vietnamese diaspora abroad sending US items home, and for Hanoi-based Vietnamese ordering US-only electronics, skincare, and snacks.

The questions everyone asks
How long does shipping to Hanoi take?
Via DHL Express / FedEx International Priority: 7-10 business days for most orders. Add 1-2 days for in-house processing (we shop or receive your inbound package, photograph contents, then ship). USPS Priority Mail International economy options are slower (8-14 days) but cheaper.
What's the customs duty threshold for Vietnam?
US$50 (Vietnam customs strict on threshold) Above the threshold, expect import duty + VAT/local sales tax per destination rules. We declare honest values and use gift markings where applicable; under-declaring is illegal and risks confiscation.
Which US stores ship to Hanoi via Selectido?
All of them. Amazon, Walmart, Target, Best Buy, Apple, Sephora, Costco, Trader Joe's (via live shopping since TJ's doesn't ship), Whole Foods, Macy's, Nordstrom, Lululemon, Nike, REI, Patagonia, and 200+ more. We've shipped from every major US retailer.
Can Selectido buy items in-store for me in the US and ship to Hanoi?
Yes — that's our live shopping service. $75/hr with 15% off 2+ hour bookings. Particularly useful when the US site won't ship to forwarder addresses (Apple, Sephora, Best Buy) or when your card gets declined at US checkout. We shop on FaceTime; you see what's in the cart in real time.
What's the cheapest way to ship a package to Hanoi?
For low-value items: USPS Priority Mail International (slower, 8-14 days, cheap). For higher-value or time-sensitive: DHL Express / FedEx International Priority (fast, full tracking, customs cleared smoothly). Consolidating multiple orders into one outbound shipment typically saves 30-50% per item.
How does Selectido handle customs paperwork for Vietnam?
Honest declared values on the commercial invoice. Harmonized tariff codes per item category. Gift markings when applicable (lowers duty for personal gifts in some countries). We provide tracking with customs status updates. If a package is held by destination customs, we coordinate with you to provide additional documentation.
What if Vietnamese customs holds my Hanoi package?
Vietnamese customs is strict — holds happen on items over $50 or restricted categories. DHL/FedEx coordinates with recipient for CMND/CCCD/passport and tax payment. Resolution typical 5-10 business days. We always declare honest values and pre-screen for restricted items.
Can I pay Selectido in Vietnamese dong (VND)?
Yes — Stripe handles automatic currency conversion at interbank rates (no FX markup from Selectido). We also accept Wise, Revolut, and many local payment methods including local bank transfer. Pay in your currency or USD, your choice.
📦 Quick reference: Personal-import threshold US$50 (Vietnam customs strict on threshold). Primary carrier: DHL Express / FedEx International Priority. We optimize shipment splitting where it makes economic sense (smaller shipments under threshold vs. one big shipment with duty).
