For 2024, the National Assembly has assigned the GDVC to collect 375 trillion VND for the state coffer, with 204 trillion VND expected from import-export activities.

The general department plans to continue reforming customs policies and procedures to ensure effective management, prevent trade fraud, and better perform the tasks of safeguarding national sovereignty and ensuring economic security.

It noted that smuggling and illegal cross-border goods transport remain complex, with a rise in cases showing criminal signs. In the third quarter of 2024, the number of cases investigated by customs authorities increased by 25% year-on-year, and the number of cases transferred to other competent agencies for investigation rose by 50%.
