The HCM City customs targets to cut half time in clearance by end 2018
This year, it would continue to create favorable conditions for businesses, especially by reducing customs clearance time by 50 per cent. Now it takes 70 hours to clear export goods and 90 hours for imports. To achieve its target, the department would continue with administrative reform, improving e-government services such as Vietnam Automated Cargo and Port Consolidated System/Vietnam Customs Information System and facilities such as online tax payment through banks and the Treasury for customs clearance.
