Japan offers Vietnam $33 million to modernize its customs sector

The Japanese government has decided to grant Vietnam a non-refundable package worth US$33 million to help the country develop an electronic customs clearance named VNACCS/VCIS using Japanese technology.

 

An agreement to this effect was signed by Deputy Finance Minister Do Hoang Anh Tuan and Chief Representative of the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) Tsuno Motonori in Hanoi on March 22.

 

Accordingly, the customs project will include transferring the VNACCS/VCIS software and the corresponding hardware and equipment.

 

Under the project, Japan will help the Vietnam customs operate the system and exercise the one-stop shop mechanism nationwide.
