Quang Ninh Customs served 1,211 importers and exporters in the year to November 15, an increase of 74 companies from the same period of 2020, with a combined value of US$11.21 billion, up 31% year on year.

Delivering legal support to local small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), Quang Ninh Customs actively carried out many activities like organizing three customs - business consultation conferences for 177 importers, exporters, shipping lines such as Maersk Lines, Cu Lines and SITC, operators of warehouses, yards and ports; and government officials.

At these events, Quang Ninh Customs received recommendations from importers, exporters, shipping lines and operators of warehouses, yards and locations.
