According to Mr. Tran Duc Hung, in 2021, the organization of a business dialogue conference was not possible due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Therefore, in 2022, Bac Ninh Customs has made innovations in organizing dialogues and conferences. That is, the unit has coordinated with Saigon Newport Corporation to support and help the business community to have more solutions for transportation and logistics. In addition, the unit invited leading customs experts from the Import-Export Duty Department, Customs Control and Supervision Department, Legal Department (General Department of Vietnam Customs) to disseminate policy information, new legislation to the business community, as well as direct answers to problems. These are considered the final answers from the General Department of Vietnam Customs on issues related to customs procedures and operations.

In addition, the conference was also attended by leaders of Bac Ninh Customs Department, as well as key leaders of 11 units, with the desire to listen directly to the concerns and problems of the business community, thereby offering appropriate solutions, more reforms, and better serving the business community.

Director of Bac Ninh Customs Department Tran Duc Hung also frankly acknowledged that there was still a gap between the proposed contents, as well as solving problems between Customs authorities and enterprises.

Therefore, the leader of the unit is committed to comprehensively receiving the content that businesses still have problems with to continue to exchange and answer via the phone number posted on the website of the Bac Ninh Customs Department (https://bacninh.customs.gov.vn/). The unit is ready to receive all information 24/7 when businesses have requests and recommendations to contribute to improving management efficiency at the unit, facilitating import-export activities.

"The business community always believes in the Customs authorities, especially Bac Ninh Customs Department, which is always ready to accompany the business community in the future," Tran Duc Hung said.
