At the same time, we will continue to promote administrative reform, modernize customs, facilitate trade, and ensure the smooth operation of the electronic customs clearance system in conjunction with the implementation of the Digital Border Gate Platform to maximize convenience for import and export activities.

On the other hand, it is necessary to promptly assign officials to support and resolve any difficulties arising during the customs clearance process; strengthen information exchange and close coordination with functional forces at border gates to quickly carry out customs clearance procedures for import and export goods.

Coordinate with warehousing businesses at border gates to arrange areas and locations to facilitate the storage and preservation of agricultural products while awaiting export as per regulations; coordinate with border guards and police to regulate traffic flow in and out of border gate areas to prevent congestion, ensure security and order, and prevent any instability that could affect the import and export activities of businesses.

Furthermore, we continue to advise import and export organizations and individuals to proactively coordinate and exchange information with relevant authorities regarding market conditions, import and export activities, and border crossing situations in order to promptly adjust production and business plans to suit practical circumstances and minimize potential losses. Using customs brokerage agents licensed by the General Department of Customs to handle import and export procedures will help avoid related legal risks and ensure professionalism and transparency.
