The International Housewares Association (IHA) has partnered with the North America-Vietnam Trading Agency (NAVTA) to provide Vietnam Sourcing Trade Missions. Participating companies are individually matched to Vietnamese manufacturers by specific product. These missions will introduce IHA members to Vietnamese manufacturers through private, one-on-one meetings and factory tours.

How does the Sourcing Trade Mission (private) work?

  1. Interested IHA members should download and review the preliminary factory reports on the IHA website for their category and products of interest. These reports will provide a good overview of the quantity and types of factories available from which to source.

  2. After reviewing the preliminary sourcing reports and deciding to take part in the mission, the IHA member should confirm their participation with IHA. Payment will be made to NAVTA.
  3. NAVTA will then conduct a thorough factory search and qualification review specific for the participating company.
  4. Meetings and factory tours are then confirmed by NAFTA.
