As many as 28,948 enterprises nationwide, or nearly 93 percent of those
conducting import-export activities, have used e-customs service since
it was officially launched earlier this year.
The
procedures were processed by all 34 customs departments across the
country during the first two months of the year, according to the
General Department of Customs.
A total of 696,218
customs declarations were computerised, helping with an import-export
volume of 33 billion USD, which accounted for nearly 92 percent of the
country’s total figure.
E-customs was piloted in 2005
in the northern port city of Hai Phong and HCM City , under the
Government’s Decision 149.
The procedures have so far been
handled at 90 customs sub-departments across 20 cities and provinces
nationwide, including Hanoi, central Da Nang city, and the southern
provinces of Dong Nai and Binh Duong, which house a large number of FDI
projects.-VNA
