At the same time, it is advising the provincial People's Committee on solutions to increase revenue, especially solutions to boost seaport economy and border trade.

In addition, the unit also effectively implemented the project of electronic tax payment and customs clearance 24/7 in accordance with the schedule of the General Department of Vietnam Customs to achieve over 97% of the total revenue collected from electronic tax; to implement anti-loss measures through prices, quantities, codes and origin of goods; strengthen the fight against smuggling, commercial fraud and counterfeit goods.
