At the same time, Vietnam is also preparing a message for testing and checking the connection.

According to ASEAN's plan, the two documents mentioned above will be officially connected and exchanged in 2021.

In addition to connecting with partners in ASEAN, the General Department of Vietnam Customs advises the National Steering Committee to connect with non-ASEAN partners such as the Eurasian Economic Union, South Korea, and New Zealand.

Up to now, the testing of the connection technique and message for the exchange of export customs declarations has been completed with the Eurasian Economic Union.

In addition, the General Department of Vietnam Customs worked with the Ministry of Industry and Trade to negotiate and agree on technical requirements to build a system of exchanging C/O with the Eurasian Economic Union and exchanging information of C/O with South Korea.
