58 PCB007 MAGAZINE I JUNE 2025 Is there a difference in lead time for overseas customers between your Chinese and Viet- namese factories? What are the differences in shipping costs? For conventional products, the delivery time of both factories is about the same. For exam- ple, double-sided PTH PCBs require eight to 10 days, while 4-layer multilayer PCBs require 12–15 days. Our logistics fees in northern Vietnam are controllable, and most goods are directly delivered by trucks. e logistics costs in southern Vietnam are rela- tively high because the local logistics are not yet well developed. Overseas shipments are sent by air. What is the board cost comparison of PCBs in your Vietnamese versus China factories? Looking at our cost benchmark for double- sided PTH PCBs, the total cost is more or less the same between China and Vietnam. e only differences for our overseas custom- ers are that PCBs are coming from outside of China, and that the tariff for import into the U.S. will depend on current tariff negotia- tions between both countries. For European customers, there is no import tariff. Do you have any other expansion plans? Our future strategic development will be based on market demand. We focus on the automotive electronics, industrial control, and household appliances markets. We will adjust or develop new factories according to market demand. Mr. Xu, thank you very much for your time and frank answers. I wish you the best of luck going forward. ank you. PCB007 Table 1: Cost comparison table, Vietnam versus China manufacturing plant
