The national one-door customs mechanism, first introduced in 2011, has considerably reduced time spent on customs procedures and facilitated import and export activities. The national single window customs mechanism is an information technology (IT) system operating in a legal environment, creating favourable conditions for fulfilling administrative procedures. For instance, when the Việt Nam Register began participating under the national single window mechanism, customs clearance of motorcycles and specialised vehicles took much less time. The IT infrastructure is very important in implementing the single window customs system for the marine and aviation industries. The IT system is the core aspect that will decide the success of implementing the national single window mechanism.
