The result is part of the customs sector’s efforts to facilitate businesses’ import and export activities.

The rate of customs declarations through green line (exempt
from physical inspection of goods and document check) has increased to around
70% after six months the customs sector implementing a scheme on “Reducing
Inspection Rates in Customs Procedures for Export and Import Goods”, according to Vietnam Customs.

Customs declarations are classified into three lines, namely
green, yellow and red channels. Products classified for green will be exempt
from physical inspection of goods and document check. Those classified into the
yellow channel will be subject to document check. Meanwhile, products with
legal risks will be classified into the red line for both physical inspection
of goods and document check.

Meanwhile, the rate of yellow and red channel declarations
declined to 30%, down five percentage points from the previous level of 35%.

The change has helped shorten customs clearance times, reduce
costs for businesses, and improve the effectiveness of risk management.

The scheme has been implemented nationwide since July 2025,
with the aim of building a modern and smart customs system that places enterprises
at the centre of service delivery.

Its core objective is to reduce inspection rates for yellow-
and red-channel declarations during customs clearance, while enhancing the
effectiveness of risk management.
