This thesis examines the issues and solutions associated with importing food goods from Vietnam to Finland, emphasizing the viewpoint of small enterprises. The aim of the research is to identify the primary challenges encountered by small businesses in the importing process from Vietnam to Finland and to propose solutions to surmount these impediments.
The research employed a mixed-method approach, combining qualitative interviews with small business owners and industry experts with quantitative analysis of import figures and market trends. The data collection aimed to understand the regulatory, financial, and logistical limitations related to the importing process while also identifying the most effective strategies utilized by successful small businesses. The inquiry analyzed the regulatory frameworks in Finland and Vietnam, including tariffs, trade agreements, import controls, and market trends, to optimize resource allocation and enhance development. Furthermore, the advantages and disadvantages of the third-party carrier are outlined to assist organizations in evaluating potential collaboration.
The study findings found several substantial obstacles, including navigating intricate import laws, managing supply chain risks, and addressing cultural hurdles. The results indicate that small enterprises can surmount these challenges by adopting a versatile and innovative business strategy, enhancing local networks, and collaborating with third-party delivery providers.
