One of the new events this year is the workshop on “Settlement reports for enterprises engaged in outsourcing, export production and export processing” held in Da Nang Customs Department on April 16, 2024.
The workshop aimed to change contents and methods to provide substantive, practical and insightful support for companies, thus continuing to support businesses in overcoming difficulties in the customs clearance process, including settlement reports on outsourcing, export production, and export processing.

At the same time, the department focused on cooperating with warehouse, yard and port operators, shipping lines and customs agents to respect customs laws, facilitate customs inspection and supervision, exchange information, and assess and classify regulatory compliance of enterprises.
