Cargo clearance activities at Huu Nghi International Border Gate tended to increase day by day. |
However, since February 8 – the official time for starting the opration of cargo clearance after the interruption of the Covid-19 epidemic – the cargo clearance at those border gates has not improved. The reason was that the human resources for loading goods was seriously in shortage, so it leads to slow process of cargo clearance.
Meanwhile, the Chinese side said that the trade in the border markets was a specific type while the form of exchanging residents at border markets was very crowded, thus it could make the disease spread more quickly and cause difficulties in controlling the disease. Currently, the Guangxi Province (China) was completing equipment, after the assessment and forcasting the situation of the disease, the would recover the operation of border market with Lang Son (Vietnam).
However, in order to enhance the capacity of cargo clearance as well as to limit the number of people in transactions, avoiding the transmission of Covid-19, the Chinese side suggested that businesses and the authorities of the two countries promote and implement import and export goods via Dong Dang international railway.
