(NLĐO) - On March 16, the Customs Department ( Ministry of Finance ) provided information on the results of the first day of implementing the new organizational structure model.

To streamline its organizational structure, the customs sector is organized and operates at three levels: Customs Department, Regional Customs Sub-department, and border/non-border customs offices.

From March 15th, the Customs Department officially implemented a new organizational structure model throughout the entire customs system and reconfigured the information technology system according to the new customs organizational model.

According to the Customs Department, on March 15th, import and export turnover reached 1.05 billion USD, with over 20,300 customs declarations (Illustrative image).

Customs units will assign officers and staff to be on duty and coordinate with the Information Technology Department during the system transition from 11 PM on March 14th to the end of March 16th. All officers and staff in the unit will work as usual on Saturday and Sunday (March 15th and 16th) to guide and resolve difficulties and issues for customs officers, staff, and businesses related to the use of the system.

According to the Customs Department, on March 15th, import and export turnover reached 1.05 billion USD, with over 20,300 customs declarations.

During the implementation of the information technology system under the new customs organizational model, the Customs Department has ensured that customs procedures for exported and imported goods, and means of transport entering, exiting, and transiting the country are handled smoothly and without interruption, ensuring quick customs clearance.

On the very first day, the Customs Department instructed customs offices at border gates/outside border gates to regularly review and assign officers to immediately process files on the system. All files must be processed within the day, ensuring that no files are overdue according to regulations and that no files remain unprocessed on the system.

For units that have merged or ceased operations, the Customs Department has directed a prompt review and processing of customs procedures for outstanding declarations that have not yet been cleared through the system.

The Customs Department stated that it is directing its units to focus on administrative procedure reform, striving to achieve the target of reducing administrative procedure processing time by at least 30%, reducing administrative procedure costs by at least 30%, and abolishing at least 30% of unnecessary business conditions by at least 30% in 2025. Along with this, it aims to implement business-related procedures electronically, ensuring smooth, seamless, and efficient operation.
