The UK's main imported wooden furniture products include living room furniture, dining room furniture, wooden frame chairs and bedroom furniture - items in which Vietnam is strong. In June 2024, Vietnam's export value of wood and wood products is estimated to reach 1.25 billion USD, an increase of 13.6% compared to June 2023. In total, in the first 6 months of 2024, exports of wood and wood products reached 7.4 billion USD, up 22.2% over the same period last year. Wooden furniture has always been a key export item, reaching 3.8 billion USD in the first 5 months of 2024, an increase of 25.8% over the same period last year.
The UK market is quite large with 68 million people and diverse needs, creating favorable conditions for Vietnamese goods, including wooden furniture, to increase exports to this market. Thanks to the UKVFTA and CPTPP Agreements, Vietnamese businesses have many opportunities in the UK market with tariff incentives and the Fast track Digital UKCA mechanism. When the UKVFTA Agreement takes effect, many wood products will enjoy a 0% tax rate for 5 years.
To penetrate and expand the UK market, businesses need to grasp new regulations on standards, consumer trends, technology improvements and product quality; Invest in modern digital marketing tools; and participate in international exhibitions in the UK. At the same time, it is necessary to prepare a production conversion roadmap to meet the UK's new requirements on reducing emissions and preventing deforestation. Businesses can also register stalls on specialized platforms such as Wayfair, Amazon, or www.partners.thepopular.co.uk for free to find customers.

Air cargo is heating up again in a very concrete way: speed is no longer just a company advantage—it is increasingly a national advantage. IATA recorded strong global air cargo growth and a record year in 2024, and in 2025 several months continued to set new highs in demand measured by CTK, suggesting this is not a short-lived surge.
Air logistics is entering a new cycle. International demand is rising fast, shippers are prioritizing speed and reliability, and exporters face tighter scrutiny on documentation and origin. In this context, the real question is no longer whether Vietnam should expand air logistics, but how to build capacity in the right architecture—one that scales volumes while strengthening Vietnam’s role in regional supply chains.
In recent years, “logistics digital transformation” has become a familiar buzzword across industry forums. Yet inside many day-to-day operations, the reality remains mixed: different software for different functions, heavy reliance on Excel and phone calls, and data trapped within departmental silos.
In late February 2026, the Board of Directors of Glotrans Vietnam attended a New Year Dinner & Dance hosted by an international partner, marking a meaningful milestone in the increasingly strong and expansive collaboration between Glotrans and its global partner network.
In the joyful atmosphere of the first days of the New Year, Glotrans Vietnam proudly hosted its 2026 New Year Party to welcome the Spring of Binh Ngo, with the presence of the Board of General Directors, the Board of Directors, and all employees across the system, including offices in Hai Phong, Hanoi, Da Nang, Quy Nhon, and Ho Chi Minh City.
Dear Valued Customers and Partners, Glotrans would like to respectfully announce the Lunar New Year holiday schedule for 2026 as follows:
The shipment of food additives was transported in container No. FCIU3301688 (20’), under B/L MPRSMUM1806, on the voyage from Nhavasheva Port (India) to Dinh Vu Port (Hai Phong, Vietnam) on 29/04/2017.
Company T (Plaintiff – the Insured) entered into an insurance contract with Company B (Defendant – the Insurer). After the insured event occurred, the Insurer alleged that the Insured had violated its obligation to prevent and mitigate losses. The Arbitral Tribunal acknowledged that such an obligation exists but concluded that the Insured did not breach it.
Under the insurance contract, the premium was to be paid in three installments, and in all three, the insured party was late in payment. When a dispute arose, the insurer (Defendant) argued that the insurance contract had terminated before the insured event occurred due to the late premium payment and therefore refused to make an insurance payout. However, the Arbitral Tribunal held a contrary view.
