This is a major policy of the Customs sector, which has been approved by the Ministry of Finance to improve management efficiency and shorten the Customs clearance time and create conditions for the port and warehouse operators to improve the management capacity as well as coordination with State management agencies. Along with that, the deployment of the system is to facilitate better and shorten the Customs clearance time for import and export enterprises.

However, due to management requirements, Sai Gon newport needs to be further reformed especially at Cat Lai port - the largest port in the whole country.

For problems which have not been solved at the meeting, the Director General assigned the Customs IT and Statistics Department and the Customs Supervision and Control Department to coordinate with the Ho Chi Minh City Customs Department and Saigon Newport Corporation to deal with immediately.

For example, for the problem on unclear and unspecific names of goods, the General Department has specifically guided in the legal documents, requiring shipping companies to supplement, otherwise they will not be allowed to load the goods to port. On the first time for insufficient declaration of goods information, the Customs authorities support enterprises are to supplement and remind them, but for the second time, Customs will take strict measures, even administrative penalties for not affecting the general implementation and other enterprises.

Director of HCMC Customs Department Dinh Ngoc Thang said that the Department is urgently deploying VASSCM and will complete the deployment on 31st November 2018.

This deployment of the system has reduced errors, reduced clearance time of goods, avoided the goods congestion at the ports. It can be said that the program has met the requirements of the connection between Customs and port operators, as well as customs clearance of goods. This system has been very successful. The Customs sector has accompanied and encouraged port operators to apply modern technology in the industrial era 4.0,"- Mr. Thuan emphasized.

Regarding the scraps, Mr. Ngo Minh Thuan said that at present, about 6,764 teus of scraps are backlogged at ports of Sai Gon Newport corporation, of which 85% are plastic scrap, the rest is paper scrap.
