According to Bac Ninh Customs Department, the unit collects over VND1,000 billion per month on average. Some items that make a great contribution to the unit’s budget include imported computers, electronic products and components, phones of all kinds and imported components, common metals and products.
The unit collected VND1,054.8 billion and VND1,009.7 billion in May and June respectively.
