State budget revenue from import–export activities increases 9% in 11 months
The Department of Customs reported on December 9 that State budget revenue from import–export activities in the first 11 months of this year reached VND420.63 trillion (US$15.95 billion), equivalent to 102.3% of the annual estimate and 89.5% of the sector’s target.
The figure represents a 9% year-on-year rise, or an increase of VND34.6 trillion.
However, budget revenue from import–export activities in November stood at only VND39.11 trillion, down 9.6% from October, a decrease of VND4.14 trillion.
The department attributed the decline to a fall in the value of import–export goods, which totalled US$77.09 billion in November, down 5.4% month on month, or US$4.4 billion.
Statistics showed that total import–export value in the January–November period reached US$839.78 billion, an increase of 17.2% year on year, or US$123.41 billion. Of this, import–export turnover of foreign direct investment (FDI) enterprises amounted to US$607.7 billion, up 25.5% from the same period last year.
The Department of Customs also noted that smuggling, trade fraud and illegal cross-border transport of goods remain complicated. Notable violations involve the illicit transport of gold, currency and branded mobile phones across borders, as well as the transit of counterfeit goods from China through Vietnam to Laos and Cambodia, which are concentrated along northern border provinces, particularly at Huu Nghi border gate, along the southern border with Cambodia, and via air routes through Noi Bai and Tan Son Nhat international airports.
Meanwhile, illegal transit and re-export activities involving counterfeit goods and products infringing intellectual property rights continue to occur, particularly at border gates with China, Laos and Cambodia.
From October 15 to November 14, 2025, customs authorities detected and handled 2,176 violations, an increase of 510 cases or 30.6% year on year. The estimated value of confiscated goods reached VND2.2 trillion, while contributions to the State budget from these enforcement activities totalled VND238.4 billion.

VOV.VN - State budget revenue in the first ten months of 2025 was estimated at VND 2.145 trillion, equivalent to 109.1% of the annual target and up 28.5% year-on-year, with October revenue recorded at VND 193.5 trillion, according to the General Statistics Office (GSO).
