Encouraging enterprises in complying well with the law
Arriving at Hoa Khanh- Lien Chieu Industrial Park Customs Branch in the last days of May 2018, it was very difficult for the reporter to see the enterprises busily carrying out Customs clearance procedures for import and export goods.
Explaining this issue, the manager of Hoa Khanh- Lien Chieu Industrial Park Customs Branch, Cao Van Nhan says that currently, most of Customs declarations of import and export goods were classified into Green Channel (rate of 54.94%). Thereby, goods were immediately cleared in the automated Customs clearance system and enterprises did not have to present in the Branch’s headquarters. For the Yellow channel declaration (rate of 41.75%), the Branch also encouraged enterprises to send their dossiers via the e-system. For documents that were required to submit the original document, enterprises needed to submit at the Branch’s headquarters to check. Currently, only 3.31% of Customs declarations that were carried out Customs procedures at the Branch were classified into Red channel.
Observing the Customs procedure handling step, the reporter realized that Mr. Phung Quoc Binh, a Customs officer of Hoa Khanh- Lien Chieu Industrial Park Customs Branch who was checking Yellow Chanel dossiers sent by enterprises, the procedures were quickly implemented by him because all enterprise’s documents had been sent via the e-system to the Customs authority. Mr. Binh said that the Customs clearance results of Yellow Chanel dossiers that were sent in the e-system would be issued after 5 minutes checking. In the morning of the same day, Mr. Binh handled and checked 8 import declarations and 2 export declarations that were classified into Yellow channel in the e-system.
The manager of the Branch, Mr. Cao Van Nhan said that an advantage in Customs management for enterprises was that most enterprises in the area were foreign invested enterprises and complied well with the Vietnam law. Hence, enterprises highly appreciated the support and development of Customs-enterprise partnership held by the Branch.
Implementing diversified support activities

In fact, in the morning that the reporter presented at the Hoa Khanh- Lien Chieu Industrial Park Customs Branch, manager Cao Van Nhan directly had a dialogue with the new director of Hanoi Steel Center Co., Ltd., to share information related to Customs policies and procedures and enterprise support activities in the area.
In addition, the Branch has also held regular dialogue with enterprises, once per quarter.
