Recently, the Viet Nam Automated System for Seaport Customs Management (VASSCM) has been applied at the Da Nang Logistics Company (Danalog).

Danalog is the first agency in Da Nang to have deployed VASSCM, which will help to encourage more local businesses dealing in ports, warehouses and yards to use this system.

VASSCM is playing a vital role in accelerating the administrative reform, and creating favourable conditions for trading activities in the city in accordance with the general policy of the national government.

The implementation of this new management system allows customs declarants not to show related paper documents when delivering goods through the customs supervision area as before. This will help them save between 1 and 2 hours for delivering each batch of goods, and an average of 0.5 and 1 hour for unloading each container, as well as reduce time and costs taken for handling import and export procedures.

Da Nang is the 6^th locality nationwide to have deployed VASSCM after Ha Noi, Hai Phong, Ho Chi Minh City, Ba Ria-Vung Tau, and Quang Ninh.
