Exports through Lao Cai Int’l Border Gate surge

Tran Anh Tu, the office’s deputy head, said that as of June 7, the value of exports through the gate reached US$110.5 million, equivalent to 214% of the figure in the same period last year.

Main export staples include iron ore, footwear, farm produce, confectionary, seafood and aquatic products.

To facilitate import-export activities, the office has applied the Vietnam Automated Cargo and Port Consolidated System and Vietnam Customs Information System (VNACCS/VCIS), thus speeding up the processing of customs procedures.

The office also extended the working hour to 10pm to support import-export enterprises.
