More than a logistics journey, this shipment from Ho Chi Minh City to Panama is a journey of culture, identity, and pride. In December, Overseas Keys successfully handled a special consignment of traditional lion dance equipment, including handcrafted lion heads—an iconic symbol of Vietnamese heritage and a vital part of Vietnamese Lunar New Year celebrations. For Vietnamese communities, especially during Tet, lion dances represent luck, prosperity, and unity.

The cargo departed Ho Chi Minh City on 14 December and arrived in Panama on 26 January, traveling thousands of kilometers across oceans. Understanding the cultural and material value of the goods, Overseas Keys applied professional packing standards. The shipment was secured in three fully sealed wooden crates, with moisture-protection measures carefully implemented, as the lion heads are made primarily from fabric and handcrafted materials requiring special care.

As a member of the GLA Global Logistics Network, Overseas Keys coordinates closely with its trusted local agent in Panama - Logistic Management & Transportation Corp. The agent is responsible for customs clearance and final delivery to the consignee at the designated address. Due to the personal nature of the shipment, there is a high possibility of 100% customs inspection. Nevertheless, Overseas Keys and its partners are proactively supporting the process to ensure timely clearance, with the shared objective of completing delivery before Vietnamese Lunar New Year, allowing the consignee to use the equipment for cultural performances and community events.

At Overseas Keys, logistics is not just about moving cargo—it is about connecting people, cultures, and communities worldwide. With global support for all types of cargo, Overseas Keys delivers comprehensive solutions from packing, inspection, consultation, and transportation to dedicated customer care. Wherever Vietnamese traditions travel, Overseas Keys is proud to be the trusted bridge that brings them to the world.
