Mr. Le Van Thang - Head of the Management Board of Dong Dang - Lang Son Border Gate Economic Zone said that since the beginning of 2023, the Management Board has presided over and coordinated with relevant agencies and units to synchronously deploy solutions to create maximum favorable conditions for import and export of goods through border gates in the province.
At the same time, regularly and proactively exchange and discuss with local agencies and authorities in Guangxi, China to agree on measures to facilitate customs clearance, promptly resolve difficulties and problems arising in the import and export of goods at the border gate area, and restore operations at the sub-border gates that have temporarily suspended customs clearance due to the impact of the Covid-19 epidemic...
Recently, Vietnamese fruits such as durian and dragon fruit have entered harvest season, and the number of vehicles carrying goods to border gates in Lang Son province has increased dramatically.
However, the trucks are routed remotely to ensure that the border gate is always clear, the flow of import and export goods is maintained smoothly with very high efficiency (surpassing the time before the Covid-19 outbreak).
