Previously, in Directive 701 dated October 29, 1995, the Prime Minister assigned Customs to work with competent forces to prevent smuggling and illegal transportation of goods at sea.

On September 12, the Prime Minister issued Decision 1577/QD-TTg approving the scheme on investment in equipment and management of vessel of the Customs sector for 2011-2020. Accordingly, investment in equipment and management of vessel of the Customs sector must ensure enhancement of effectiveness and efficiency of patrol, control, arrest, prevention and combat smuggling and illegal transportation of goods cross borders, contributing to preserving economic security, national security and economic sovereignty.
