And currently, the Vietnam National Petroleum Group has no plan to allocate import quota to Cua Lo Port.

According to the leaders of the Customs Department, in 2018, the Ministry of Finance, the General Department of Customs, and the Provincial People's Committee assigned the target of revenue from import-export activities in Nghe An province to be 1,260 billion VND; the General Department of Customs assigned to strive for 1,500 billion VND. Since the beginning of the year, revenue from import-export activities at the Provincial Customs Department has reached 1,340 billion VND; thus, the average monthly revenue is about 142 billion VND. Based on the analysis and assessment of the state budget revenue situation and forecasts for the coming time, it is estimated that the state budget revenue from import-export activities in Nghe An province in 2018 will reach about 1,700 billion VND.

To complete and exceed the assigned targets, Nghe An Provincial Customs Department creates the most favorable conditions for import and export activities. Prevent revenue loss through checking taxable values, through classification and tax imposition, especially for items with high tax rates and large import and export turnover; strengthen inter-sectoral coordination mechanisms to prevent, inspect and detect acts of trade fraud, C/O..., identify the focus and key items with signs of abnormal turnover.
