For customs control, Vietnam Customs participated in global anti-smuggling campaigns of WCO and in the region. Along with leaders of other countries' customs, Vietnam Customs adopted many measures of customs cooperation based on ASEAN commitments and the ASEAN Summit's decision on trade facilitation and performed effectively customs law in ASEAN.
