There are more than a dozen enterprises inside and outside the province participating in exporting fresh lychees through this border gate.

Mr. Nguyen The Hung, Deputy Director of Lao Cai Border Gate Customs Branch said: The Sub-department has coordinated with functional forces at the border gate to come up with solutions to help the export of agricultural products in general, fresh lychees in particular, be the most favorable; direct professional divisions to increase human resources, guide and assist enterprises in carrying out customs procedures; at the same time requesting customs officers to go to work 15 minutes earlier than the prescribed time to assist enterprises in completing export procedures quickly and conveniently.
