Many problems raised

Lang Son Customs Department said that the nature of the Smart border gate model aims to joint coordination between Vietnam and China in building specialized, independent and separate route based on modern technology for delivery and transport of imports and exports.

Accordingly, these sites will have to meet requirements specified in Decree 68/2016/ND-CP amended and supplemented in Decree 67/2020/ND-CP and approved by the General Department of Vietnam Customs.
