General situation:
The flow of goods through Vietnam's border gates in April 2024 increased compared to the previous month and the same period last year.
Export turnover increased by 12.5% compared to March 2024 and increased by 23.3% compared to April 2023.
Import turnover increased by 11.2% compared to March 2024 and increased by 18.5% compared to April 2023.
However, the customs clearance situation still has some difficulties and problems:
Traffic infrastructure at border gates is limited: Some border gates have local congestion due to lack of yards, warehouses, and degraded roads.
Administrative procedures are still cumbersome: Enterprises face many difficulties in completing documents and customs clearance procedures.
The capacity of authorities to release goods is limited: Inspection and supervision of goods has not been carried out synchronously, leading to congestion in customs clearance.
The COVID-19 epidemic is still complicated: Some border gates still apply restrictive measures, affecting customs clearance activities.
