According to Head of the Thanh Thuy border guard station Nguyen Xuan Hoang, total import-export revenue through the border exceeded US$300,000 during the first eight days of the first lunar month (February 19-26), mainly from the export of fresh fruits, including dragon fruit (200 tonnes) and chilies (20 tonnes).
Meanwhile, hundreds of people went through entry-exit procedures daily for travel or visiting relatives.
Since the Thanh Thuy and Tianbao border gates at the shared border between Vietnam’s Ha Giang province and China’s Yunnan province officially became an international border crossing in late 2014, many foreigners have used the crossing to enter China through Vietnam.
Thanks to joint efforts by customs officials, border guards and police forces, procedures for product export have been simplified, contributing to reducing time and unexpected costs for enterprises.
