A Vietnamese top customs official on August 27 met with representatives from ministries, public agencies and the US Agency for International Development (USAID) to discuss the implementation of a trade facilitation project, with an emphasis on import-export specialised inspection.
Deputy Prime Minister Vuong Dinh Hue on August 1 asked ministries to speed up the connection of administrative procedures under their management to the national single window (NSW) as the work remains slow.
The Ministry of Industry and Trade has moved to put more public administrative services online towards a more simplified and transparent administration.
As many as 173 administrative procedures of 13 ministries and sectors have been connected to the National Single Window (NSW) window since it was implemented in 2015.
The National Single Window (NSW) customs mechanism has made significant contributions to administrative reform in Vietnam since it was officially launched in November 2014, notably creating more favourable conditions for enterprises.
