Single-window Customs Mechanism in Agriculture Piloted

The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development said it will pick up 7-10 administrative procedures in seven fields related to import and export of agricultural and forest products to pilot the so-called single-window customs mechanism.

 

The ministry told its seven subordinates (Directorate of Fisheries, Vietnam Administration of Forestry, National Agro Forestry Fisheries Quality Assurance Department, Department of Animal Health, Plant Protection Department, Department of Crop Production, and Department of Livestock Husbandry) to review their procedures related to importing and exporting activities for simplification and quick access to electronic declaration. If this mechanism is implemented, businesses must file and provide information at only one address.
