Vietnamese enterprises are adjusting their strategies to enter the United States market by moving beyond simple export models toward establishing a direct presence. For instance, Phu Tai Joint Stock Company has approved a $1 million investment to establish PHU TAI HOME USA, INC. in Houston, Texas, to manage the trade and distribution of stone and wood products.

During a seminar in Hanoi organized by the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI), experts noted that competitive pricing alone is insufficient for success. Businesses are being advised to navigate stringent US requirements regarding legal compliance, corporate governance, traceability, and rules of origin. VCCI Vice Chairman Hoang Quang Phong encouraged companies to strengthen risk management and seek long-term integration into US supply chains through brand building and expanded partner networks.
