Door-to-door
Door-to-door means delivery from the seller’s premises to the buyer’s: inland transport at both ends, export and import customs, and the international leg, all handled by one logistics company.
Booked leg by leg, a shipment passes through five different pairs of hands. Morning Logistics puts all of it on one contract, one quote and one coordinator.
Scope of work
Delivered Duty Paid: the seller carries every cost and risk right through to the buyer abroad, including duty and customs charges in the importing country.
Ex Works: the buyer takes charge of collecting the cargo from the seller’s warehouse abroad and bringing it to its own, independent of the seller.
A truck comes to the shipper’s warehouse to pack, label and tally the cargo before it leaves the origin point.
Export clearance in Vietnam and import formalities in the receiving country, carried out through our agent network at the far end.
Delivered to the warehouse, to site or to the store at the consignee’s address, with signed documents.
Cargo insurance taken out against the value of the shipment and the lane, with claims settled on the terms selected in the event of loss.
Applying the right HS code and using the duty preferences under the free trade agreements (FTAs) in force with the destination market.
Ocean, air and road combined in one chain to balance the cost against the delivery date.
Cargo held in a bonded warehouse, split by order and delivered piece by piece to the end customer, which suits cross border e-commerce.
The truck goes to the shipper’s warehouse, tallies the cargo and brings it to the consolidation point.
The export declaration is filed and the cargo is loaded onto the international carrier.
By sea or by air, on the option fixed in the quote.
The agent at destination handles import formalities and pays the duty where the term is DDP.
Delivered to the consignee’s address, with the signed documents returned.

On DDP terms the buyer at destination has almost nothing to do beyond receiving the cargo.
It runs on two delivery terms: DDP puts almost every obligation on the seller and EXW does the opposite. Morning Logistics acts as the party performing the work for whichever side carries the obligation.
