Apply many IT initiatives
In the last days of April 2024, Ho Chi Minh City Customs Department is completing work to prepare for implementing a number of management application and business support programs. Sharing about these application programs, Mr. La Viet Hung, Head of IT Department - Ho Chi Minh City Customs Department said that following the direction of the Department's leaders, the unit built a program to track records and incoming dispatches from businesses, with the purpose of supporting businesses to track online the system of customs clearance dossiers under the Yellow and Red channels, as well as monitor the processing of dispatches which are sent to Customs agency.
Continue to perfect the Centralized Administration System (HCAS), expand applications towards the System becoming a management - operating ecosystem - supporting connection and information sharing between Ho Chi Minh City Customs Department and other departments in the area as well as connecting professional activities with support and providing information for import-export businesses. In particular, with the efficiency of processing documents and work on the HCAS network environment, Ho Chi Minh City Customs Department is taking steps to upgrade and build a digital office.
Previously, from the application of HCAS, a number of customs sub-department at border gates and outside border gates have exploited and developed many automation applications in the stages of receiving documents and official dispatches, creating convenience and saving costs for both Customs authorities and businesses. Typically, the Express Delivery Customs Sub-department deploys the application "Solution for synchronization, number allocation, and automatic response for documents of express delivery and postal businesses" (referred to as Solution, Application). This application is deployed on the HCAS system platform. With this application, instead of having to submit paper copies, businesses only need to send scanned copies of digitally signed documents to the sub-department's email box. The HCAS system will automatically receive, issue numbers and respond to emails from businesses. This entire process takes a maximum of 5 minutes. According to express delivery and postal companies, solutions and applications of IT software systems in the stages of receiving documents and documents related to imported and exported goods have saved businesses a lot time, cost, and at the same time contribute to environmental protection when businesses do not have to print hundreds of documents every day, etc.
