Vietnam Customs moves to single-point specialised inspections at border gates under Official Letter 20834

Summary

Vietnam's Customs Department issued Official Letter 20834/CHQ-GSQL dated 24 August, setting out a Ministry of Finance plan to make customs the single focal point for specialised inspections of imports and exports at border gates. The design leans on risk management, the National Single Window and electronic data sharing between agencies, so a company files one document set on one system to clear both customs and specialised inspection.
