Surpassing revenue target soon
According to Ha Tinh Customs Department, the department has completed the revenue target. This is a positive result amid the turbulence of the Covid-19 pandemic.
As of August 24, the department received and handled 10,126 customs dossiers, a year-on- year increase of 50%.

Revenue collected by Vung Ang Seaport Customs Branch was VND4,970.73 billion and Cau Treo Border Gate Customs Branch was VND306.18 billion. The remaining revenue was from Xuan Hai Seaport Customs Branch and the port clearance audit unit.
Deputy Director of Ha Tinh Customs Department Dinh Van Hoa told Customs News that the surge of imports of key items like coal and ore by Formosa Ha Tinh Steel Corporation helped to increase the department’s revenue.
In addition, the turnover of some commodities such as Red Bull, tapioca starch, sawn timber of all kinds, and electronic products also increased, rising the department’s revenue.

The department requested units to facilitate customs clearance for importers and exporters.

Improving the flow of import and export goods
Amid the turbulence of the public health crisis, the department has deployed action plans and offered solutions to prevent the pandemic and implement quick customs clearance for firms.
It has also asked customs branches to control Covid-19 prevention at border gates, especially in Cau Treo International Border Gate.
All means of transport on exit and entry have been disinfected before customs clearance. Residents on entry must undergo 21-day quarantine. All drivers of vehicles must change drivers before entry.
Cau Treo International Customs Branch has divided officers into two groups and each group is on duty for 15 days to not interrupt customs clearance.
Vung Ang Seaport Customs Branch has requested all officers comply with instructions of health authorities and carefully contact foreign clients in customs process; and established working teams to support and remove obstacles for firms.
