Accordingly, the department has promptly detected and handled many cases of a complicated nature and dangerous levels, contributing to the fight against State budget revenue loss, protecting the interests of people and businesses, and ensuring economic and social security. HCM City Customs Department made a record of 716 violations, valued at more than VND353 billion.

With the reforms of HCM City Customs Department amid Covid-19 in the management and monitoring of collection, fight against revenue loss, smuggling, tax evasion and trade fraud together with support and facilitation of the business community by relevant agencies, the department’s revenue has skyrocketed despite the pandemic, which is different from every year.

Accordingly, the units continue to set out solutions to support the business community to increase exports and imports according to the developed roadmap of solutions and plans. This is the time for each public official to show their roles and responsibilities when the Director of HCM City Customs Department has committed to leaders at all levels and the business community that "Innovation for breakthroughs; accompany for creating maximum favourable commercial conditions for the business community; and collect properly and sufficiently to raise the state budget revenue”.

Each public official has the responsibility to work with the business community to quickly revive the economy after the Covid-19 pandemic through specific and practical action programs.

To continue to effectively implement disease prevention and control under the direction of leaders at all levels and agencies, not to be negligent or lose vigilance; develop and implement short-term and long-term trade facilitation programs and plans to minimize the impact of the pandemic and support businesses to overcome difficulties and challenges and take advantage of opportunities to quickly restore and boost production, business and socio-economic development.
