National Assembly Chairman Nguyen Sinh Hung has requested the customs sector to continue reforming its structure, simplifying administrative procedures and expanding information technology application during 2015.
Efforts in these channels produced significant results in 2014, reducing the time required for customs clearance and facilitating the circulation of goods, Chairman Hung stated while paying a visit to the Vietnam Customs agency on February 24 in Hanoi.
He hailed efforts made by the sector to prevent product smuggling and trade fraud.
The NA leader also expressed his hope that the sector will effectively implement the revised Law on Customs and improve the capacity of customs officials.
As of late 2014, all customs departments across Vietnam used the Vietnam Automated Cargo and Port Consolidated System and the Vietnam Customs Information System (VNACCS/VCIS). Through December 15, 2014, 5.17 million import-export declarations went through e-customs procedures and trade revenues conducted through e-customs were valued at 182.45 billion USD.-VNA
