Customs sector leads in IT application
Clearance time: One to three seconds
Vietnam Customs has synchronously implemented administrative procedure reform. In 2020 and 2021, it studied and proposed to reduce and simplify five percent of regulations and five percent of costs related to business activities, according to government Resolution 68/NQ-CP dated May 12, 2020.
The customs sector has adopted many solutions to facilitate imports and exports |
It has also regularly assessed the impacts of administrative procedures on law-making, helping ensure the necessity, legitimacy and reasonability of regulations on administrative procedures; regularly and promptly publicized administrative procedures to ensure accessibility to information for individuals, organizations and businesses; and strengthened control of administrative procedures throughout the sector.
Notably, the customs agency has built a number of key IT systems to serve the implementation of customs procedures, automated customs inspection and supervision. Core customs procedures are already completely automated through the automated clearance system VNACCS/VCIS at all customs units nationwide with more than 99 percent of enterprises. More than 99.8 percent of customs declarations are processed on these systems and customs clearance time for green channel goods only takes one to three seconds.
Vietnam Customs also signed agreements with 44 banks on budget collection cooperation, with tax revenue through banks to account for 99.8 percent of total revenues, and 98 online public services have been integrated into the National Public Service Portal.
In addition, Vietnam Customs has deployed the Automated Customs Management System (VASSCM), connecting to 495 enterprises operating in ports, airports, warehouses, yards and locations subject to customs supervision.
Significant savings
Since early 2021, Vietnam Customs has focused on building digital customs. The smart customs model will be based on a high degree of automation and apply scientific achievements on digital platforms, ensuring transparency, fairness, efficiency, and the ability to forecast and adapt to fluctuations of international trade and management requirements of customs authorities.
It is expected that in the next five years, 92,000 importers, exporters and operators of warehouses, yards and ports will save about VND920 billion by using the new customs IT system, and be able to declare customs procedures anytime, anywhere on all available tools.
Deputy Director General of Vietnam Customs Luu Manh Tuong said that in recent years, the customs sector has speeded up reforms and modernization and has been a pioneer in developing and applying IT. Consequently, administrative procedure reform and modernization in the sector have made remarkable progress, creating a favorable environment for import and export activities, immigration, and implementation of international integration commitments.
So far, all basic customs procedures have been automated and all customs departments and branches carry out electronic procedures with 99.65 percent of enterprises. |
