Based on the classification of key entry flights according to the provisions in Decision 200/QD-TCHQ dated August 24, 2015 and Decision 3280/QD-TCHQ dated September 30, 2016 of the Director General of Vietnam Customs, the units must arrange customs officials to supervise the process of loading cargo from aircraft to the airport. If necessary, they should check the cargo hold of aircraft to make sure no imported goods are left on the aircraft and especially aircraft used for deploying domestic connecting flights should be noted.

Requesting airlines to notify customs branches for managing the flight number of domestic flights and the estimated time of landing to arrange supervision.
