Earlier, the Government’s Office sent official dispatches to transmit the directions of the Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc on permission for pilot implementation of extending the Customs clearance time for agricultural products and fishery products up to 10 o’clock pm every day regardless of difference in import-export type to China through the Kim Thanh Road II International Border Gate, Lao Cai (Vietnam) -Ba Son (China). The official extension of Customs clearance time for goods will be made after agreement with the Chinese side.

Following the directions of the Prime Minister, the General Department of Vietnam Customs requested the Lao Cai Customs Department to direct its Customs Branch at the Lao Cai International Border gate to pilot the extension of the Customs clearance time for agricultural products and fishery products until 10 o’clock pm everyday regardless of import-export type to China through the Kim Thanh Road II International Border Gate. In particular, priority should be given to the exports of domestic products against the jams at the border gate.

In order to contributing to deal with jams of products through the borders (agricultural products and fishery products) and facilitate the Customs clearance at the border gate in the recent times, the Prime Minister has issued many directions to extend the Customs clearance time at the Kim Thanh Road II International Border Gate (Lao Cai).

At present, the working time at the Kim Thanh Road II International Border Gate starts from 7 o’clock am to 7 o’clock pm every day in a week including Saturdays and Sundays, Tet’s holiday (except other regulations)
