At Tan Thanh Border Gate, which mainly handles the export of agricultural products and fresh fruits, the number of vehicles arriving at logistics yards has risen noticeably compared to the pre-holiday period. Many enterprises proactively dispatched vehicles to the border gate from the first days of resumed operations in order to take advantage of early customs clearance.

“At this time, we have been able to implement our plan as scheduled. The company has imported seven truckloads of goods, and all vehicles have completed customs procedures and have been cleared within the same day. Overall, operations have been very smooth and convenient,” said Le Ho Hai from Fukang International Transport Co., Ltd.

Immediately after the holiday, Tan Thanh Border Gate Customs has arranged sufficient officers and staff on duty to ensure uninterrupted operations and promptly handle any arising situations. The information technology system has been operating stably, while inter-agency coordination plans have been reviewed and implemented closely to create the most favourable conditions for import-export activities.

 “Our unit performs its duties with a strong sense of responsibility, ensuring goods are cleared quickly and efficiently while strictly complying with legal regulations,” said Phan Thi Lien, head of the customs team at Tan Thanh Border Gate. “At the same time, we proactively coordinate with border guards, quarantine authorities, and logistics yard operators to regulate vehicles and prevent congestion, especially for agricultural products.”

At the border gate areas across Lang Son province, vehicles are scientifically organised and separated into export cargo trucks, import cargo trucks, and empty vehicles. Relevant forces maintain regular information exchange and promptly address any issues arising on site.

 “We are implementing synchronised professional measures, strengthening manpower and equipment to ensure security and order, while regulating and directing traffic flows appropriately to facilitate import-export activities,” stated Maj. Trinh Van Bac, deputy head of the the Border Guard Station at Huu Nghi International Border Gate.

Statistics show after the 2026 Lunar New Year holiday, the number of vehicles cleared through Lang Son’s border gates has reached 800 to 1,000 trucks per day. The volume and export turnover of agricultural products and fruits have increased sharply from the first days of the new year. This is considered a positive signal, providing momentum for Lang Son to strive toward its target of approximately US$100 billion in import-export turnover through the province in 2026.

The coordinated efforts of competent forces together with the proactive engagement of enterprises have contributed to a vibrant start for import-export activities in Lang Son at the beginning of the year.
