Recently, implementing the Government’s Decree 83/2021 on Vietnam’s Special Preferential Import Tariffs to implement the agreement on boosting bilateral trade between Vietnam and Cambodia in 2021-2022, there were some problems related to the implementation of procedures for importing rice from Cambodia.
The department reported the problem to the General Department to instruct businesses in carrying out procedures for importing rice and paddy when submitting C/O form E issued by Cambodia.
Customs branches under An Giang Customs Department have processed dossiers for about 982 million tons of paddy imported from Cambodia.
Through the implementation of solutions to facilitate and raise revenue, the increase in imports and exports across An Giang Border Gates, the department’s revenue has achieved positive results.
Recently, the General Department of Vietnam Customs assigned additional revenue target to An Giang customs department from VND200 to VND256 billion.
To achieve this target, the department has requested branches to assess revenues and create favorable conditions for businesses in customs to increase revenues.

The department has focused on inspecting items listed in imports and exports with high risks in classification and tax rate.
