Deputy Prime Minister Le Van Thanh has requested ministries, sectors and localities to closely coordinate with Chinese agencies to speed up customs clearance, striving to have no congestion of cargo trucks at border gates before Tet (Lunar New Year) holidays.
Lao Cai authorities, including customs, border guards, and medical quarantine officials, maintained operations in the opening days of the new lunar year to ensure the quick and safe customs clearance of goods.
The Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT) has proposed Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc permit customs clearance of goods through all secondary border gates in the northern province of Lang Son, which is on the border with China.
