The Thanh Dat Inland Container Depot also witnessed bustling activities in January. Deputy Director of the port Thanh Dat said about 50-60 containers were cleared by customs at the port per day.
Nguyen Tien Dung said municipal authorities have worked to fully exploit the locality’s strengths of border-gate economy, contributing to changing the local economic structure.
The city has also held dialogues with enterprises and investors in the locality with the aim of timely addressing difficulties facing them.
Vo Hong Chung, deputy head of the Mong Cai border gate’s customs section said his agency is willing to work around the clock for customs clearance at the gate.
To develop Mong Cai into a modern international border gate city, municipal authorities are focusing efforts on key infrastructure projects, such as the Bac Luan 2 Bridge, and the upgrading and expansion of Bac Luan border gate 1.
Administrative procedures were simplified while the time for customs clearance was shortened, helping reduce expenses for enterprises./.
