According to Resolution No. 04/2026/NQ-HĐND, from April 28, 2026 to December 31, 2028, the province will apply a "zero fee" for the transportation of certain high-value goods, such as: telephones and telephone components; components and materials for assembling automobiles and motorcycles; dump trucks and tractor-trailers; semi-trailers; specialized equipment and mining equipment, etc. These are goods with high export value, making a significant contribution to import and export activities as well as state budget revenue. This is expected to directly reduce logistics costs, enhance the competitiveness of businesses, and create advantages for the province's land border gate system in attracting goods, increasing customs clearance volume, and promoting border trade and logistics growth.
According to a review by the Provincial People's Committee, after implementing the policy of 100% exemption of border gate infrastructure fees for priority product groups, the total fee revenue in 2026 is expected to be approximately 293 billion VND (a decrease of about 40 billion VND compared to the revenue collected under Resolution No. 96/2025/NQ-HĐND previously). Mr. Ngo Tung Duong, Deputy Head of the Customs Sub-Department of Region VIII, commented: This revenue reduction shows that the scale of support provided by the province to businesses is very large. However, instead of focusing on the immediate reduction in revenue, the province has chosen an approach of "nurturing revenue sources," using the expansion of import and export activities to compensate for and increase sustainable revenue in the long term. This is also consistent with the policy of building a proactive, service-oriented state, with businesses at its center.
Although the new policy may impact the reduction of budget revenue from border gate infrastructure fees, adjusting the infrastructure fees for high-value cargo transport vehicles brings positive impacts in many aspects. Many businesses believe that the policy will create incentives to attract import and export businesses, especially large enterprises, high-tech enterprises, and businesses participating in global supply chains, to choose Quang Ninh as a customs clearance and transshipment point; increasing the province's competitiveness compared to other localities.
Mr. Pham Huu Thuat, Director of Nam Hung Import-Export Company (Mong Cai 2 Ward), said: "The Provincial People's Council's resolution is particularly significant in the context of increasingly fierce competition among border gates. On average, Nam Hung Import-Export Company imports about 200-300 vehicles of various types per month, with border gate infrastructure fees of about 70-100 million VND. Immediately after the policy is implemented, in May 2026, the company's import turnover is expected to reach approximately 8 million USD, paying about 47 billion VND in taxes (a 20% increase compared to April 2026), and this will continue to increase in the future. Reducing border gate infrastructure fees to 'zero' not only directly benefits import-export businesses, but the new policy is also predicted to create a ripple effect throughout the entire logistics and border trade ecosystem."
According to analyses by authorities and the business community, increased cargo volume will lead to the development of related service industries such as transportation, warehousing, finance, insurance, and logistics, thereby creating more jobs, increasing workers' incomes, and adding value to the supply chain. In addition, the increase in customs clearance volume also improves the efficiency of exploiting the infrastructure of border gates, seaports, and logistics that the province has invested in over the years, optimizing public investment resources and enhancing the overall efficiency of the economy . The bold decision to reduce immediate fees to create room for long-term development also demonstrates Quang Ninh's determination to improve the investment and business environment, enhance provincial competitiveness, and support businesses.
With the province aiming for a GRDP growth rate exceeding 13% in 2026, the import-export support policy is considered a groundbreaking solution with the potential to create a rapid and widespread impact on many economic sectors. This is not simply an adjustment to border gate infrastructure fees, but a strategic step to consolidate Quang Ninh's position as a crucial logistics and goods transshipment center in the North, creating new impetus for import-export activities and sustainable economic growth in the coming period.
