Mong Cai international border gate reports significant trade growth

The Mong Cai international border gate area in Quang Ninh province has seen substantial growth in trade and revenue during the first ten months of 2026. Total import and export turnover reached nearly 5.7 billion USD, representing a 19% increase compared to the same period last year.

Customs activities at the Mong Cai gate involved over 272,000 declarations, a 24% increase from the previous year. State budget revenue from these activities reached approximately 4.46 trillion VND, an 89% increase year-on-year. The volume of goods processed through the gates reached 2.3 million tons.

Infrastructure and smart border gate projects are also advancing. Eight automated control lanes have been completed at the Bac Luan 1 bridge, with operations expected to begin in December 2026 to align with Chinese systems. Additionally, government-level negotiations between Vietnam and China have established a basic consensus on the direction and scope of a cross-border economic cooperation zone.
