VOV.VN - Export activities for agricultural products and fresh fruits through the border gates of Lang Son province have quickly regained momentum following the Lunar New Year holiday.

VOV.VN - A new “smart border gate” system developed along the Vietnam–China border could allow travelers to complete immigration procedures in less than one second per person, according to information revealed on March 6 by delegates from Guangxi to China’s National People’s Congress (NPC).

The northern province of Quang Ninh is set pilot normal customs clearance on weekends at the Bac Luan II Bridge area of the Mong Cai International Border Gate starting March 7.

In the run-up to the Lunar New Year (Tet) holiday, customs clearance at China’s Youyi Guan border gate in Guangxi province, adjacent to Vietnam’s Huu Nghi international border gate in Lang Son province, has sped up as cross-border traffic surges.

With key agricultural products such as lychee, durian, mango, longan and dragon fruit entering the peak harvest season, Vietnamese authorities are stepping up efforts to streamline customs clearance at border gates to prevent congestion and market oversupply.

VOV.VN - The Prime Minister has requested that relevant ministries, sectors, and localities promptly implement measures to ensure the production, processing, consumption, and export of agricultural products, especially during peak harvest seasons for key items such as rice, durian, lychee, longan, dragon fruit, mango.

From January 1, 2029, residents engaging in cross-border trade, whether buying, selling, or exchanging goods, will be required to complete import-export procedures in person.
