To effectively carry out the work of combating smuggling and trade fraud, especially during the Lunar New Year of Nham Thin, Nam Can Border Gate Branch has implemented professional measures in the work of controlling smuggling, trade fraud, and preventing drug crimes at the Border Gate. Organizing forces, means and using police dogs to patrol and control publicly to promptly detect and arrest subjects. The unit has deployed the signing of coordination regulations with the police forces of Ky Son district, Border Guard Station 539 - Nam Can International Border Gate, Border Guard Station 543 (Ta Do), Border Guard Station 545 (Na Ngoi), Border Guard Station 551 (Tam Hop).

Mr. Nguyen Sy Nam - Head of Nam Can Border Gate Branch said: At the time of Lunar New Year, the flow of people and means of transport increases rapidly, criminals take advantage of this situation to trade in smuggled goods, the Branch has developed a specific plan suitable to the actual situation, at the same time thoroughly informing all officers and customs officials to raise the sense of responsibility, strengthen inspection and control work to detect and promptly handle violations. A difficult problem for Nam Can Customs Branch when implementing professional measures is that it is not currently equipped with a baggage scanner, so it is very difficult to check the luggage of XNC passengers, each time a passenger passes through, it must be checked manually.

To achieve high results in anti-smuggling control activities to contribute to stabilizing market prices, especially before, during and after the Lunar New Year 2012, Nam Can Customs has strengthened inspection and control work and well implemented the coordination regulations with Ky Son District Police and Nam Can Border Guard Station to ensure supervision, control and anti-smuggling, trade fraud and drug control across the border.
