Lang Son (VNA) – The value of trade flows through the Huu Nghi international border gate in the northeastern province of Lang Son surpassed 2.5 billion USD as of the end of October, up 13% year-on-year.

Of the total figure, exports accounted for over 1.2 billion USD.

This growth has been attributed to the close and efficient collaboration between border gate control forces, particularly the customs and border guard units, in handling export-import procedures, regulating traffic and maintaining security at the border.

Located on the Vietnam-China border, Huu Nghi is a critical gateway for trade and cultural exchange between the two countries. According to its customs unit, the border gate currently processes between 700 and 800 vehicles daily, with approximately 200 of these carrying export goods. Key imports and exports include industrial machinery, electronic components, household appliances, automobiles, farm produce, chemicals, and metals.

To ensure smooth and efficient customs operations, the unit has actively implemented information technology in customs clearance. More than 3,200 businesses involved in trade through the gate now utilise the Vietnam Automated Cargo and Port Consolidated System and Vietnam Customs Intelligence Information System (VNACCS/VCIS).

Additionally, border guard and customs officials in the area have jointly managed the movement of over 1.8 million passengers through Huu Nghi this year./.
