Lang Son (VNA) – Authorities in border gates in the northern province of Lang Son have applied various measures to prevent congestions in the gates amid increasing volume of vehicles carrying import-export products.
From September 15 afternoon, all empty vehicles arriving Tan Thanh border gate to receive imported goods have been regulated to the non-tariff zone for parking before moving to Bao Nguyen parking area for cargo loading.
Currently, Tan Thanh border gate handles 280 empty vehicles and 240 vehicles transporting export goods each day.
Nguyen Tien Cong, a driver transporting import goods from Tan Thanh to the domestic market said that all drivers are happy with the new regulation as it helps ease congestion, particularly when they can park in the non-tariff zone free of charge.
In Huu Nghi border gate, vehicles carrying goods for exporting through the gate have also been allowed to park in the non-tariff zone since September 10 until further notice.
The none-tariff zone is located in Tan My commune, Van Lang district, about 6 km from Tan Thanh border gate and about 8 km from Huu Nghi international border gate. The designation of the zone as the parking space for empty vehicles and vehicles with export goods has facilitated the movement of vehicles carrying import and export goods in and out of the customs clearance areas, minimising the risk of insecurity and disorder in the border gate area.
Besides, Lang Son authorities have taken initiative in requesting the Chinese side to prolong the time for customs clearance until 8pm (Vietnamese time) when the number of vehicles going through the gates surges.
As it is now the harvest season♐ of many fruits and agricultural products, the number of vehicles transporting goods to the border gates in Lang Son has increased sharply with about 1,300 vehicles carrying imported and exported goods going through customs clearance each day and even 1,450 on peak days./.
