Specifically, the customs units should facilitate and immediately carry out customs clearance for exported agricultural products in main harvest time in particular and agricultural products in general through border gates; and promptly solve problems arising in the customs clearance process for exported goods.

The General Department directs local customs units to arrange for officials and employees to carry out customs clearance procedures and supervise exported agricultural products through border gates outside office hours, weekends and public holidays; prioritize vehicles that have gone through customs clearance procedures to pass through the border gate quickly.

Local customs units should coordinate with warehouse and yard operators at the border gates to arrange places for the preservation and quality classification of enterprises' goods while waiting for export.

At the same time, coordinating with the Border Guard and Police forces to regulate traffic for vehicles in and out, avoid congestion, ensure security and order, and prevent instability affecting export activities.
