In today’s fast-evolving global ecommerce market, international shipping efficiency is no longer a luxury – it is a necessity. For businesses exporting to the United States, one of the most critical elements of success is navigating the customs clearance process smoothly, cost-effectively, and quickly. This is where the ECCF shipping solution offered by Vietnam Post Logistics becomes a game-changer.

Backed by partnerships with global postal networks and years of experience in cross-border logistics, Vietnam Post Logistics provides ECCF-compliant shipping services that are tailored for exporters, e-commerce businesses, and third-party sellers operating in the U.S. market.

What is ECCF? 

ECCF stands for Express Consignment Carrier Facility. It is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP)-authorized facility designated to handle expedited import shipments, particularly low-value parcels typically seen in cross-border e-commerce.

In simpler terms, ECCF allows shipments to the U.S. to be:

• Cleared faster through a dedicated customs process.
• Processed in bulk, reducing per-package inspection times.
• Qualified for Section 321 de minimis clearance, meaning shipments under $800 in value can enter the U.S. duty-free and tax-free, without formal entry documentation.

ECCF facilities play a vital role in enabling seamless delivery experiences, especially for businesses involved in direct-to-consumer (DTC) and dropshipping models.

Why ECCF Shipping Matters for Vietnam-based Exporters

Vietnam has become a rising star in global manufacturing and e-commerce exports. However, the challenge of reaching customers in the U.S. quickly, affordably, and reliably still remains for many small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs).

Traditional shipping methods often involve complex customs procedures, long transit times, and higher costs for last-mile delivery. ECCF shipping helps solve these challenges by:

• Accelerating customs clearance.
• Reducing costs through duty-free entry.
• Improving delivery timeframes, especially for e-commerce shipments under 2 kg.
• Supporting bulk processing with consolidated manifests and standardized tracking.

With ECCF shipping, Vietnamese businesses can compete more effectively with sellers from China or the U.S. by offering similar delivery speed and reliability at a competitive cost.

Vietnam Post Logistics ECCF Solution: A Full-Service Offering

Vietnam Post Logistics has developed a dedicated ECCF-compliant logistics solution to meet the growing demand for cross-border e-commerce shipments to the United States. The service is part of the company’s broader strategy to connect Vietnam’s supply chain with global marketplaces through customized, high-compliance logistics models.

Here’s what makes the ECCF shipping solution from Vietnam Post Logistics stand out:

Direct Line-Haul to U.S. ECCF Facilities

Vietnam Post Logistics collaborates with trusted air cargo carriers to directly line-haul consolidated shipments from Vietnam to ECCF-authorized facilities in the United States (e.g., in Los Angeles, New York, Chicago).

This direct connection minimizes transit time, avoids unnecessary handling, and allows faster customs pre-clearance at the destination.

Section 321 De Minimis Compliance

Through ECCF facilities, Vietnam Post Logistics ensures shipments are fully compliant with Section 321, allowing individual packages below $800 in declared value to enter the U.S. with:

• No customs duties

• No import taxes

• No formal entry documentation

This compliance streamlines the delivery pipeline and significantly lowers the cost of entry for exporters.

Consolidation and Manifest Management

Vietnam Post Logistics supports customers with shipment consolidation and the preparation of detailed, compliant electronic manifests (required by CBP for ECCF processing). This includes:

• Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) codes
• Accurate product descriptions
• Consignee and shipper information
• Value declarations

Proper manifesting helps reduce customs holds and ensures smooth passage through U.S. customs.

Last-Mile Delivery Through USPS and Trusted Carriers

After customs clearance, shipments are handed over to USPS or integrated local carriers for last-mile delivery to customers across all 50 states.

• Delivery times range from 3–7 business days after customs clearance.
• Full tracking is provided via USPS, UPS, or local carrier APIs.

Vietnam Post Logistics ensures visibility at every stage, from Vietnam origin to the final U.S. delivery address.

Tailored for E-commerce, Fulfillment, and Amazon Sellers

The ECCF shipping solution is particularly beneficial for:

• Amazon FBA Prep and Forwarding
• Etsy, eBay, and Shopify Sellers
• Dropshipping operations
• Vietnamese manufacturers with direct-to-U.S. consumer models

By integrating with e-commerce platforms and offering API-based shipping labels, Vietnam Post Logistics enables seamless logistics integration.
