Upholding the responsibility of the leader

Speaking at the meeting, Director General Nguyen Van Can emphasized the importance and necessity of implementing the Digital Customs System and Smart Customs model because this is a trend that has been and is being implemented by customs authorities in developed countries.

With the efforts and determination of the units and customs officers, the General Department of Vietnam Customs is ensuring the implementation of related works in line with the roadmap.

At the working session, Director General Nguyen Van Can said that in order to successfully implement the Digital Customs System and Smart Customs model, one of the important issues was the awareness, understanding and responsibility of heads of units, especially managers of customs branches.

The Director General assigned the departments and functional departments of the General Department of Vietnam Customs to urgently transfer the latest documents to Hai Phong Customs to focus on research so that the Department could take the initiative and be ready to be one of the first units of the sector piloting the Digital Customs System and Smart Customs model.

At the meeting, the General Director suggested that leaders of branches, professional divisions of Hai Phong Customs Department and divisions of the General Department of Vietnam Customs have an in-depth discussion and frank exchange in order to come up with practical opinions, contributing to choosing the most optimal solutions to successfully implement the Digital Customs System and Smart Customs model.

At the same time, actively researched and contributed ideas to specialized agencies of the General Department of Vietnam Customs.

“Besides 12 professional problems assigned to lead, Hai Phong Customs Department actively researched all 115 professional problems in nine fields in the documents of the General Department of Vietnam Customs. On the basis of research, Hai Phong Customs Department had given feedback and suggestions with more than 100 pages of documents,” Director Nguyen Duy Ngoc said.
