According to the report of Dak Lak Customs Department, since the beginning of the year, the unit has processed procedures for 4,456 import-export declarations, an increase of 24.4% over the same period in 2023. The total import-export turnover in the period reached 494.8 million USD, an increase of 33.3% over the same period last year.

During the period, 952 vehicles entered and exited the country under the management of Dak Lak Customs Department. Of which, 517 were at Lien Khuong Airport and 435 were at the road border gate. Correspondingly, there were 121,843 passengers entering and exiting the country, including 75,495 through Lien Khuong Airport and 46,348 through the road border gate.

Although import-export turnover increased, revenue in the period at Dak Lak Customs Department decreased by 15% compared to the same period last year, reaching nearly 106 billion VND, equivalent to 21.2% of the assigned plan. According to Dak Lak Customs Department, the main reason for the decrease in revenue is that the taxable import-export turnover at the unit decreased compared to the same period, mainly due to a decrease in the amount of exported alumina and a decrease in imported goods for investment projects.

According to Dak Lak Customs Department, to ensure the completion of the assigned budget revenue target in 2024, in the coming time, the unit will strengthen inspection, supervision and control to prevent and combat smuggling, trade fraud, counterfeit goods, illegal transportation of goods and drugs across the border; strengthen solutions to prevent loss of state budget revenue. In addition, the unit also continues to review and collect information on import and export plans of enterprises and investment projects in the area to proactively guide customs procedures and tax policies for enterprises.
