Vietnam’s General Department of Customs (GDVC) is at the forefront of tackling counterfeit goods and transnational crime, implementing key initiatives for transparent and efficient customs enforcement. With a robust public awareness campaign, GDVC has educated citizens about the dangers of counterfeit products while enhancing regulatory compliance. The launch of online portals for customs declarations and a public transparency website have made customs procedures more efficient and accessible. The introduction of a risk-based clearance approach and a blockchain system for tracking goods exemplifies GDVC’s commitment to modernizing customs practices.
On the international stage, GDVC actively collaborates with neighboring countries to combat cross-border crimes and enhance security. Through partnerships with agencies like the China Customs Service and participation in regional workshops, GDVC is strengthening its role in global trade regulation. Furthermore, the Vietnamese government has enacted significant legal reforms, including the Customs Law of 2022, empowering GDVC with stricter penalties and advanced technology for countering illicit trade. With these ongoing reforms, GDVC is a key player in sustainable trade and customs enforcement worldwide.
