Hai Phong Customs is one of the few units in the whole sector which reached such an impressive figure, along with Bac Ninh Customs Department and Ho Chi Minh City Customs Department.

The above results prove the role and effectiveness of Hai Phong Customs in accompanying, supporting and facilitating the business community in recovering production and business after the pandemic.

At the Conference to review the work in 2021 and carry out tasks in 2022 (January 6, 2022), one of the key tasks set by Hai Phong Customs Department and also assigned by Deputy General Director of the General Department of Customs Mai Xuan Thanh is further improving the efficiency of the Customs-Business partnership with people and business-centric approach; actively offering solutions to support enterprises to recover production and business after the Covid-19 pandemic.

Following the policy of supporting and accompanying the business community, in regular instructions or in monthly and quarterly meetings, Hai Phong Customs Department leaders always request their units to focus on and effectively implement facilitation solutions.

According to Dinh Vu Port Customs Branch (Hai Phong Customs Department), amid the complicated development of the Covid-19 pandemic in the first months of the year, the branch offered many solutions to create maximum convenience for businesses. Specifically, most customs dossiers were processed online, and civil servants in charge of receiving dossiers, immediately guided and notified enterprises by phone, thereby ensuring fast accurate and convenient customs clearance. In addition, the branch assigned customs officers to work from home or work on a rotating basis 24/7.

Furthermore, the unit has applied a modern customs management system at bonded warehouses, run an online camera surveillance system, applied customs supervision by electronic positioning seals, to improve quality, reduce time and cost of loading and unloading, goods circulation at warehouses and yards.

In addition to the Dinh Vu port border gate Customs Branch, customs branches at the border gate and outside the border gate and the advisory agencies at the Department all developed specific solutions to support and accompany businesses such as establishing information exchange channels via social networks, via hotlines; organizing business dialogue conferences (for branches); organize online conference with enterprises to grasp the thoughts and expectations of enterprises; and signing agreements.
