Ha Nam Ninh Customs Department was assigned to collect the budget revenue of VND6,400 billion and a higher target of VND6,900 billion in 2022, said Nguyen Duy Thuan, Deputy Director of the department which manages customs affairs in Ha Nam, Nam Dinh and Ninh Binh provinces. However, the complicated development of the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affected local business operations. With effective budget collection solutions and support for importers and exporters, the department has obtained very good outcomes. It completed procedures filed by 1,398 businesses, 0.22% higher than a year earlier, for the import and export value of more than US$10.2 billion, up nearly 15% year on year.
