“We have been building a strategic partnership, not only stopping at customs clearance procedures, but also a comprehensive cooperation, together aiming to build a favorable, transparent and effective business environment”, shared the Chairman of IPPG.
In addition, Mr. Johnathan Hanh Nguyen assessed that the Customs sector has also achieved many achievements in improving business support processes and meeting international practices including: digital transformation, smart customs and simplification of procedures...

Need to continue improving the quality of partnerships
To continue achieving the impressive results mentioned above, Mr. Johnathan Hanh Nguyen proposed 6 important contents to the Customs authority.
First, the Customs authority needs to further improve the global security and trade facilitation (SAFE) standards framework of the World Customs Organization (WCO) to be able to enter a period of deep integration with the world economy.
Second, it is necessary to further simplify procedures, although procedures have been significantly simplified in the past, they are still complicated for some special types of goods, such as high-tech goods or dual-use goods. Standardizing procedures will save time and resources for businesses.
Third, it is necessary to strengthen supervision and inspection of anti-trade fraud to ensure that all import-export activities strictly comply with legal regulations, helping protect the rights of legitimate businesses, contributing to building a fair, transparent and stable business environment.
Fourth, it is necessary to increase automation and deploy artificial intelligence (AI).
Fifth, increasing support for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in customs clearance and implement more specialized support programs for SMEs, especially in accessing information.
Sixth, researching and developing retail policy mechanisms in free trade zones and duty-free zones.
“We will continuously contribute ideas and proposals to help create the most favorable business environment for businesses, thereby contributing to the sustainable development of the national economy. We believe that, with dynamism, sensitivity and professionalism, the leaders of the General Department of Customs will continue to make the Customs sector the leading unit in the country in reform and modernization as well as on par with countries in the region and the world," said Mr. Johnathan Hanh Nguyen.
