The General Department of Vietnam Customs said the amount accounted for 37 percent of the estimate for the whole year.

State budget collection in most of the cities and provinces’ customs departments ranged between 30-40 percent of their yearly plan. The rate in Hai Phong city was 47.39 percent, HCM City 33.97 percent and Hanoi 31.78 percent.
Thanks to strong increase in imports of several projects, the customs departments in Binh Dinh, An Giang, Tay Ninh, Kien Giang and Khanh Hoa provinces recorded high tax collection in the four months, respectively accounting for 92.24 percent, 96.1 percent, 119.68 percent, 288.75 percent and 155.49 percent of the yearly target.-VNA
