Deputy head of the Lao Cai Border Gate Customs Sub-Department Pham Van Phuc said that exports on the first day of the new year were mainly agricultural products such as dragon fruit, watermelon, durian, jackfruit, banana, rambutan, mango, and cassava, while imports included flowers, ornamental plants, and fresh vegetables.
To support importers and exporters on the first day of the new year, the Lao Cai Economic Zone Authority had instructed the relevant authorities at the border gate to remain on duty, ensure sufficient personnel and complete procedures as quickly as possible to facilitate smooth movement of goods.
Over the past time, Lao Cai province has directed relevant agencies to continue working alongside businesses to reduce administrative procedures, expedite and simplify clearance processes to effectively support the smooth passage of goods.
Last year, the total import-export turnover through the Lao Cai border gates reached nearly 2.5 billion USD, with state budget collection hitting 840.6 billion VND (32.98 million USD).
