At Hoa Lu International Border Gate, vehicles entering the border gate area will be guided to declare on the digital border gate software system. All information will be transferred by the system to the working positions of the functional forces to carry out the next tasks. The Customs agency will confirm that the import and export goods are eligible for customs clearance as soon as the functional sectors have completed the inspection and supervision stages.

Mr. Hoang Truong Huong, Deputy Head of Hoa Lu International Border Gate Customs, Region XVIII Customs Branch, Dong Nai Province affirmed: The implementation of the project to use the digital border gate platform in managing and operating import and export activities of goods and means of entry and exit in border provinces will help to make information on administrative procedures transparent, creating more favorable conditions for businesses.

“We are very excited that the customs clearance procedures at Hoa Lu International Border Gate are quick and convenient. However, it is necessary to clearly define each type of import - export or transshipment vehicle. At the same time, we hope to ensure maximum confidentiality of business information and synchronize information technology infrastructure to ensure that declarations on the software are smooth and transparent, avoiding overlaps and additional administrative procedures" - Mr. HOANG MANH, Akira Vietnam Co., Ltd. in Ho Chi Minh City suggested.
