Regarding the fresh lychee, the customs sector only inspects via the electronic customs declaration system and requires the phytosanitary certificate for customs clearance, thus it takes less than 2 minutes to complete the procedure for a lychee carriage.

Under the instruction from Lang Son provincial People’s Committee, the competent agencies in the province and border gates have actively coordinated with Chinese relevant forces to create the best possible condition to clear the customs procedure for the lychee. Accordingly, the working time may last till 9pm every day, even in weekend to avoid delaying any lychee carriage to the next day.
