The project will facilitate the implementation of Việt Nam's Automated Cargo and Consolidated Port System, the country’s Customs Information System (VNACCS/VCIS) and train GDC staff to use the national one-stop-shop customs system.

It also helps to draw up mechanisms and policies to ensure the security of information as well as procedures to operate and manage the VNACCS/VCIS system and the necessary human resources.

The Head of the GDC Nguyễn Ngọc Túc treasured the valuable assistance from the Japanese Government for Vietnamese customs for the customs reforms and modernisation in Việt Nam.

The technical assistance project will give Việt Nam's customs access to Japan’s knowledge and management experiences in operating and mastering the VNACCS/VCIS system.

In addition, Japan’s technical assistance and technologies will help Việt Nam's customs to modernise in the near future.
