Customs develops on-line procedures
The Viet Nam General Department of Customs has set a target of having between 18 and 20 provincial and city customs departments apply e-customs procedures in 2011.
To realise the goal, customs will carry out five measures, the most important of which is setting up a common e-customs declaration system backed by hi-tech equipment that will create favourable conditions for export enterprises in completing their customs declaration procedures.
The sector will also intensify investment in building technological infrastructure facilities to expand the application of e-customs in new areas and establish standards on data exchange with business enterprises.
Investment priority will also be given to purchase equipment used for the implementation of e-customs procedures including rapiscan machines, cameras, and radioactive detectors.
Another task the customs department has set itself is to formulate specific capital disbursement processes suitable to each customs agency to ensure that capital sources are allocated and used effectively.
This year, the customs sector will also focus on monitoring the implementation of e-customs procedures at various-levels to find shortcomings and take appropriate remedial measures.
