Doing a steel project in Brunei

Brunei is in South-Eastern Asia. The capital is Bandar Seri Begawan. Local currency: Brunei dollar (BND), Singapore dollar (SGD).

Vietnam and Brunei are both parties to ATIGA, CPTPP, RCEP, so steel structures made in Vietnam can qualify for preferential tariffs under the rules of origin.

Victor Dang, Global Sales Director of World Steel Group, is the direct contact for projects in Brunei, from first drawings to fabrication, packing, shipping and documents.
