On that basis, the Customs IT and Statistics Department under the GDVC has supported and improved the system.

According to IPV's report, from the date of official connection (November 1, 2021) to January 15, 2022, IPV has sent about 2 million goods received notes and goods delivery notes to the Customs system with an average of 24,500 notes per day.

In addition, the Deputy General Director provided information about major policies and orientations of Vietnam Customs on reform, modernization to IPV, facilitating the import and export activities of the business community and FDI enterprises.

Notably, the Customs sector is focusing on implementing the Digital Customs System and the Smart Customs model, the project on reforming the model of quality inspection and food safety inspection for imported goods under Decision 38/QD-TTg dated January 12, 2021 of the Prime Minister.
