The Vietnam Customs officially launched its electronic customs (e-customs) procedures nationwide as part of the agency’s 2020 development strategy which aims to reduce the manual and checking of goods from the current rate of 15-20 per cent to under 10 per cent by 2015, and further decrease it to 7 per cent and below by 2020.
According to Deputy Head of the General Department of Customs’ Reform Board Tran Quoc Dinh, the initiative comes after seven years since the country first introduced e-customs procedures in customs offices located in Hoh Chih Min city and the northern Hai Phong City.
After the pilot project was deemed successful, it was then expanded to other offices located in Ha Noi, Da Nang, Dong Nai and Binh Duong.
"Individuals no longer have to fill-up forms and stand in long queues during business hours. With the e-customs in place, individuals can simply go online and make customs declarations from the comforts of their own homes,” he said.
By 2020, the Customs Department hopes that the e-customs procedure will be fully implemented in all of its branches (sea border gates, airports, land border gates and other economic areas) nationwide.
Dinh also revealed that the nationwide application of e-customs procedures is an important foundation for the implementation of the Viet Nam Automated Cargo Clearance System and the Viet Nam Customs Intelligent Database System by 2014 and as well as the national strategy on customs reform by 2020.
