In 2020, the regional and international situation faced complicated movements, strategic trade competition between some major economies were increasing (United States - China), posing opportunities and challenges for Vietnam.
In addition, Vietnam has participated in many new-generation free trade agreements (such as the EVFTA, RCEP) which pose higher requirements and require compliance with international commitments on tariffs, market openings and intellectual property, affecting our economy in general and import-export activities in particular.
The outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic together with its complicated, unpredictable developments and serious impacts on all countries in the world, pandemic control measures such as border closures, commercial flight suspension, isolation and blockades have had negative impacts on import and export activities and disrupted global supply chains, posing great challenges for Vietnam and other countries.
Under the close and timely direction of the Government and the Ministry of Finance with the viewpoint of resilience against difficulties, challenges and promoting creativity and striving to overcome difficulties, together with the goal of drastically implementing anti-pandemic measures, while actively supporting the opening of import and export activities, the General Department of Customs has directed its units to actively implement many measures to prevent and control the pandemic while ensuring customs management and facilitating businesses.
In which, focusing on: strengthening administrative reform, customs modernization, IT application in professional stages, enhancing the fight against smuggling and trade fraud, and strengthening discipline. Therefore, the General Department of Customs has achieved remarkable results.
Specifically, from the beginning of the year to December 15, the sector handled procedures for the volume of import and export goods totalling US$515.27 billion, up 4.5% (equivalent to an increase of more than US$22 billion) year-on-year. Of which, the total export value was US$267.22 billion, up 6.1%, and the total import value was US$248.04 billion, up 2.7%.
Regarding state budget revenue, despite facing many difficulties and challenges, with efforts to nurture revenues and measures to combat revenue loss, as of December 21, the Customs sector collected VND304,336 billion. Estimated revenue for the whole of 2020 will reach VND315,000 billion, equivalent to 93.2% of the estimate (VND315,000 of VND338,000 billion), equal to 105% (VND 315,000 of VND300,000 billion) of the figure reported at the 10th session of the 14th National Assembly.
