Mr. Nguyen Cong Tuan, Deputy Director of Huu Nghi Border Gate Customs Branch, saidin order to achieve this revenue, the Branch assigned officers to exchange, understand and share difficulties with businesses. In addition to the increase in the import turnover of cars, the major import and export goods with high revenue also increased compared to 2018.
