If a shipment is undeliverable, Amilo will make reasonable attempts to return it to the sender. If the recipient refuses the package or it cannot be returned due to regulatory restrictions in the destination country, Amilo reserves the right to dispose of the goods in accordance with its General Terms of Use. Senders are advised to confirm destination country import regulations before shipping.

Fulfillment service is the outsourced management of your order pipeline — covering inbound receiving, warehousing, picking and packing, labeling, and outbound shipping directly to your end customers. Amilo's fulfillment service integrates with major e-commerce platforms including Shopify and eBay via API, supports DDP and DDU delivery terms, and includes real-time inventory tracking via the VIP portal.

A bonded warehouse (kho ngoai quan) is a customs-supervised storage facility licensed under Vietnam's Customs Law 2014 where imported goods are held without triggering import duty. Duty is only payable when goods exit the warehouse for domestic sale or are re-exported. Bonded warehousing is particularly beneficial for cross-border e-commerce sellers, importers managing large seasonal inventory, and businesses using Vietnam as a re-export hub for ASEAN distribution. Amilo's bonded warehouse is located in Ho Chi Minh City with free nationwide pickup.

Amilo's fulfillment and bonded warehouse services include real-time inventory tracking, low-stock replenishment alerts, stock-level reporting, and custom inventory reports accessible through the VIP self-service portal. Inventory visibility covers every stage from inbound receipt to outbound dispatch.

Yes. Amilo provides end-to-end customs clearance services for both imports into Vietnam and exports to international destinations. Amilo navigates documentation requirements, import duties, VAT, and compliance obligations under Vietnam Customs Law 2014, Decree 08/2015/ND-CP, and Circular 39/2018/TT-BTC. For EU-bound shipments, Amilo is IOSS-registered to handle VAT obligations at the point of sale.

Additional permits, phytosanitary certificates, or product-specific licenses may be required depending on commodity classification (HS code) and destination country. Amilo's customs team advises on documentation requirements as part of the clearance process.

Amilo does not accept dangerous goods (per IATA/IMDG regulations), counterfeit or IP-infringing products, live animals, narcotics, weapons and ammunition, undeclared cash and precious metals, and any goods that violate the export/import regulations of the origin, transit, or destination country. Sellers are responsible for ensuring their goods comply with Vietnamese customs law and destination country import restrictions.
