Quang Ninh sees clearance of nearly 200 trucks via border gates, crossings with China. |
The resumption came after a hiatus of nearly 20 days, according to the Mong Cai customs sub-department. Of the trucks, 44 transported fresh seafood for export and 51 served the import of different types of products, with most of the remaining trucks being those trapped during the hiatus.
The sub-department said as of 1 p.m., there were more than 1,300 trucks, mostly transporting frozen and fresh seafood and fresh fruit, left to be cleared.
The clearance duration for each truck is between 5 and 10 minutes in line with strict pandemic prevention and control measures, it informed.
Previously, to review and strengthen COVID-19 prevention and control measures, Guangxi temporarily suspended customs clearance at border gates in Dongxing city from December 21, 2021. These freshly reopened pairs of border gates and border crossings are very important for imports and exports of both sides.
