The Mong Cai International Border Gate Management Board has sent a notice to the inter-sectoral forces at the border gate and businesses to adjust import and export activities of goods through the Km3+4 Hai Yen pontoon bridge opening, Mong Cai city, Quang Ninh.
Immediately after receiving the information, Mong Cai Border Gate Customs Branch and Quang Ninh Customs Department promptly informed and disseminated to the business community and border residents to proactively plan production, business and export activities of dry goods in the coming time.
According to the records of Mong Cai Border Gate Customs Branch, in the first days of adjustment, the amount of exported dry goods was not much, however, the unit proactively arranged officers and civil servants to handle procedures for businesses when goods arose through the area.
For example, on March 18, 2024, at Customs Supervision and Inspection Team No. 2, Mong Cai Border Gate Customs Branch received and processed export procedures for 8 Vietnamese vehicles carrying cassava starch exported to China through the Km3+4 pontoon bridge opening, with a total export volume of 322.5 tons, with a turnover of 165,799 USD (cargo vehicles were allowed to clear customs directly, without having to unload goods onto Chinese vehicles as before).
The adjustment of customs clearance activities from China is a good signal, contributing to removing the "bottleneck", creating an opportunity for recovery and prosperity for Vietnam's dry goods exports through the Km3+4 pontoon bridge opening, Hai Yen, Mong Cai city after nearly 5 months of temporary suspension of export activities, especially for cassava starch, dried tea, cashew nuts, and dried fruits.
Fresh seafood, frozen seafood and fresh fruit still maintain normal customs clearance activities.
As of March 17, 2023, the Department has received and processed 4,126 declarations of all types, with a total cargo volume of about 59,305 tons and a turnover of approximately 159 million USD.
Previously, at the request of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region Commerce Department, in order to further optimize the Guangxi border market trade business model, the entire region will adjust the border market trade clearance supervision and management model.
From November 1, 2023, the model change will be implemented uniformly throughout the area step by step. In the immediate future, the management and supervision model for imported groceries and dry goods through the border market pair will be adjusted, including: goods that are not locally processed such as tapioca flour, dried tea leaves, cashew nuts and other dry goods will not be subject to the current "all-vehicle-in, all-vehicle-out" customs clearance model, but the 8,000 yuan/vehicle/person model will be restored; goods declared under the name of locally processed goods will continue to be subject to the current "all-vehicle-in, all-vehicle-out" direct transportation model.
After the Dong Hung border market area completes the renovation of the equipment facilities in the management and supervision yard according to the requirements to ensure the flow and re-check the loading of dry and miscellaneous goods and the new management and supervision model is operated stably, it will be restored and expanded to all goods.
On March 17, 2024, China officially announced the resumption of normal dry goods exported from Vietnam to China through the Dongxing border market pair.
