Hanoi’s customs collects US$960 million for State budget
Hanoi’s Customs Department has announced that it collected 21.5 trillion VND (around 947.1 million USD) for the State budget as of December 29, up 4 percent from the estimated figure of 20.65 trillion VND.
Tran Dai Thang, head of the department’s Export-Import Tax Office, attributed the revenue growth to the policy of moving cross-border customs and logistics procedures to My Dinh inland clearance depot from July 1, 2017, enabling more firms and border gates to transfer goods.
The sector also attracted more 130 enterprises, 15 agents and three contractors to do customs clearance procedures, thus accomplishing assigned tasks this year, he said.
