A pilot project for the construction of a smart border gate at the dedicated cargo transport route in the area of milestones 1119-1120 and the dedicated cargo transport route in the area of milestones 1088/2-1089, belonging to the Huu Nghi (Vietnam) – Huu Nghi Quan (China) international border gate. |
The project aims to construct a smart border gate at these dedicated cargo transport routes, with the ambition of developing Lang Son into a key hub for import-export, trade, services, tourism, and border gate economic activities in the Northeast region. It also aims to establish the Huu Nghi international border gate as a “model border gate,” the most advanced ASEAN land border gate, developed based on high technology applications and a modern road transport system connected to seaports and airports.
Enhancing Clearance Capacity and Efficiency
The specific objectives are to pilot the construction of a smart border gate by implementing a new import-export cargo handling procedure based on the application of modern science and technology in the import-export cargo clearance process. This includes the entry and exit procedures for transport vehicles during the import-export cargo handling process, thereby enhancing clearance capacity and efficiency at land border gates. It also aims to meet the growing trade demands, resolve cargo congestion at border areas, reduce transport and clearance costs for import-export goods, create a favorable business environment, and attract import-export enterprises. Additionally, it seeks to increase state budget revenues, combat smuggling, commercial fraud, counterfeit and substandard goods, contribute to stabilizing and improving the lives of people on both sides of the border, and maintain political security, social order, and safety, as well as national border sovereignty.
By 2027, the project aims to double or triple the clearance capacity at the dedicated cargo transport routes compared to the current level. For the route in the area of milestones 1119-1120, the target is to increase from 800 vehicles per day to 2,000-2,500 vehicles per day. For the route in the area of milestones 1088/2-1089, the target is to increase from 400 vehicles per day to 800-1,200 vehicles per day.
By 2030, the project aims to quadruple or quintuple the clearance capacity at these routes compared to the current level. For the route in the area of milestones 1119-1120, the target is to increase from 800 vehicles per day to 3,000-3,500 vehicles per day. For the route in the area of milestones 1088/2-1089, the target is to increase from 400 vehicles per day to 2,000-2,500 vehicles per day. The total import-export turnover of all forms through the route in the area of milestones 1119-1120 is expected to reach approximately $85 billion, while the route in the area of milestones 1088/2-1089 is projected to reach about $25 billion.
Pilot Implementation for Specific Types of Goods
The project involves constructing a model for the organization and operation of state management agencies at the border gate area based on the application of modern science and technology in the import-export cargo handling process at the dedicated cargo transport routes. The smart border gate model will be implemented within a separate and enclosed area and will apply to specific types of goods during the pilot period. At the same time, the traditional cargo handling method will also be maintained.
The selected goods for clearance under the smart border gate model include fruits and electronic components for export from Vietnam and ASEAN countries, as well as electronic components imported from China. During the pilot period, there will be further discussions with the Chinese side to expand the range of import-export goods to ensure the project’s objectives and effectiveness.
Implementation Period: Q3 2024 to Q3 2029
The project is scheduled to be implemented from Q3 2024 to Q3 2029, comprising two phases. Phase 1, focusing on infrastructure development, will last from Q3 2024 to Q2 2026. Phase 2, the pilot implementation phase, will extend from Q3 2026 to Q3 2029.
The project’s funding sources include the state budget (local and central budgets as per the Law on State Budget and Public Investment), combined with capital from approved programs and projects, and mobilized socialized capital and other legal sources as per regulations.
