According to the Import and Export Duty Department, although the economy is recovering and import and export activities show signs of prosperity compared to the first months of the year, due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, trade is restricted, goods demand declines, customs clearance faces difficulties, labour resources and the "health" of businesses decreases and goods prices plummet.

In addition, at the time of estimation, crude oil price is forecasted to reach US$60/barrel. However, up to now, the decrease in price of crude oil to 40 USD/ barrel has directly decreasedthe value of import and export products, and indirectly reduced State budget revenue.

In addition, the participation in international economic integration and free trade agreements, opportunities and challenges will be shared equally for all parties, and will have two-way effects on the our country's economy.

Specifically, import and export turnover in the first 10months of the year reached US$439.81 billion, increasing by 2.65% year-on-year.

If the estimate of these eightdepartments accounted for 83% of the total estimate of the whole sector, by the end of October 31, these eightdepartments collected VND 195,147 billion, reaching 69.62% of the total estimate of VND 280,300 billion.

Some departments’ revenue fellcompared to the same period last year such as HCM City Customs Department, Hai Phong Customs Department, Dong Nai Customs Department, Quang Nam Customs Department and Da Nang Customs Department. The reason for the sharp decrease in revenue of was due to the impact of Covid-19 pandemic which led to a the decline in import turnover of major commodities such as machinery, equipment, cars, petroleum products, auto spare parts of enterprises that have suffered from difficulties in production and business, suspended or stopped production and business activities.

However, in the first 10 months of the year, some provincial and municipal customs departments reported good revenue. Can Tho Customs department collected VND 2,885 billion, or 122.72% of the estimate, resulting from the increase in imports of machinery and equipment for the Duyen Hai 2 Thermal Power Plant project; KhanhHoa Customs department’s revenue VND reached 3,163 billion, or 210.93% of the estimate, due to the increase in the imports of petroleum products by Van Phong petroleum bonded warehouse. In addition, there are wind and solar power projects in the province; Quang Ngai Customs department’s revenue Quang Ngai Customs Department reached VND 4,319 billion, or 157% of the estimate, resulting from the increase in the imports of raw materials, machinery and equipment for production by the Hoa Phat Dung Quat Steel Joint Stock Company; Binh Phuoc Customs Department’s revenue hitVND 1,276 billion VND, or 159.58% of the estimate, resulting from the increase in the imports of high value machinery and equipment of investment projects.
