Business hours for customs clearance services extended at Vietnam-China border gate

China has agreed to extend daily business hours for customs clearance services at Huu Nghi International Border Gate, which links Vietnam’s Lang Son Province with China, in a bid to satisfy a surging demand for shipping goods via the gate, said a local official. The northern border gate now offers customs services from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm, one hour longer than before, Le Van Thang, head of the management board of Dong Dang-Lang Son border gate economic zone, said on Friday. A few days ago, lots of container trucks queued up along National Highway 1A, especially at the Huu Nghi border gate area to wait for undergoing the customs clearance procedures.
