Therefore, Customs needs to collect 1,400 billion vnd per day. Besides, in order to complete the assigned task of Ministry of Finance of 275,000 billion vnd, Customs needs to collect an additional 35,826 billion vnd, equivalent to 1,628 billion per day.

Reportedly, until the end of November 2016, Customs revenue reached 239,174 billion vnd, equivalent to 88.6% of the estimate of Customs revenue for 2016, an increase of 2.79% over the same period in 2015.

To date, some Customs Departments of provinces and cities have accomplished and exceeded the target of State budget revenue such as Bac Ninh Customs Department (101.3%), Quang Ngai Customs Department (128.1%), Da Nang Customs Department (143.7%), Khanh Hoa Customs Department (167.9%), Dac Lac Customs Department (164.9%) and Binh Phuoc Customs Department (155%).

However, the actual GDP in 2016 was only about 6% and the total import-export turnover over the same period just increased by 4%, which showed that manufacturing and business activities did not meet expectations, putting an adverse impact on Customs revenue.
