According to the Customs Department, they have recently launched the “Viet Nam Customs Data” application to replace traditional paper reports. The target users of this application are leaders and managers at various levels, from central to local, who need import and export statistics for policy formulation, direction, and administration.

The application is designed to provide more timely data, allowing users to access information anytime, anywhere. The data is presented in diverse formats and visual charts for easy monitoring, analysis, and identification of critical insights. Currently, the application provides daily and weekly data, as well as cumulative figures up to the reporting date.

During its operation, the “Viet Nam Customs Data” application will continue to be adjusted and refined according to the macro-management orientation of each period. These improvements aim to closely serve the management and administration requirements and meet the increasing workload of the customs sector due to the dynamic changes in the domestic and global economy.
