Faced with the requirements of the new period and the increasing workload, the Provincial Customs Department determined to continue modernizing customs management in 2025 to create maximum favorable conditions for businesses.
In 2024, the Provincial Customs Department surpassed the record budget revenue of over 17,000 billion VND, being one of the 10 units with the highest total import-export turnover in 2024 in the entire General Department; 2,046 enterprises carried out procedures through the area, an increase of 30% compared to 2023. The VNACCS/VCIS system has carried out procedures for over 160,000 declarations (an increase of 20% compared to 2023).
To handle the record high number of declarations as above, the Provincial Customs Department directed units to effectively implement the following measures: operating on 20 application software systems in performing customs procedures and customs management. The Provincial Customs Department has deployed the complete online public service system; the national single window system; the ASEAN single window system to handle export and import procedures for goods, exit and entry procedures for means of transport as well as administrative procedures arising in state management activities on customs.
The thorough application of IT ensures that 100% of declarations are collected via the 24/7 Electronic Banking System. Risk management is highly effective with a reduction in the red-channel rate (the red-channel rate is 4.06%, exceeding the assigned plan target), and the rate of violation detection has increased compared to previous years.
Ms. Vu Thi Chuc, Director of MOCHI LLC, said: Customs procedures between customs agencies and businesses are carried out entirely in the digital environment, customs clearance time for declarations is quick and all answers are also responded to quickly via the network environment, helping businesses save costs and time.
According to the digital transformation plan to 2025, with a vision to 2030 of the industry, Quang Ninh Customs Department aims to digitally transform customs operations comprehensively, in sync with digital transformation of enterprises towards centralization, modernization, and automation of customs management and operations, advisory work, and implementation of customs inspection, supervision, and control. In 2025, management and operations processes will be centralized and automated at the highest level. Professional fields will be integrated and interconnected, minimizing the inspection rate during customs clearance, moving towards the model of "Paperless Customs". The Department also invests in modern equipment to enhance pre- and post-clearance inspections, reducing direct human intervention, ensuring transparency and efficiency.
Although the organization and implementation of reform and modernization of the Provincial Customs Department is considered a bright spot in the whole industry, during the implementation process, the Department also reviewed and found that there were still some problems due to dependence on the implementation roadmap of the General Department of Customs, such as: Building a large database of enterprises subject to post-clearance inspection by locality and field; completing 100% of digitalization, digital signature and electronic storage of records, documents, and results of handling administrative procedures; striving for 100% of basic customs control records to be converted to electronic data, moving towards digitalization; building a digital border gate model for pilot application at Bac Luan II border gate according to the roadmap of the General Department of Customs; working tools, collaboration in the digital environment and the rate of cloud computing platform deployed reached 70%; tax debt management is carried out entirely electronically with modern management methods...
To complete the set targets, the Provincial Customs Department has reported and proposed solutions to the General Department of Customs, such as: The General Department of Customs should promptly organize a review and propose amendments to the 2014 Customs Law (after 10 years of implementation) to ensure a legal basis for customs reform and modernization in the new situation, especially a legal basis for the development of digital customs and smart customs associated with the completion of the new customs organization model.
