China is Vietnam’s second-largest export market and its biggest source of imports.

According to a statement from the Vietnamese ministry of industry and trade, import and export activities at the Vietnam-China border have been severely congested, especially at the Lang Son and provincial border crossings in Quang Ninh.

In addition, some border crossings continue to suspend customs operations until further notice.

The ministry has informed the traders and associations to examine the possibility of finding alternate means of export to avoid risks and problems caused by congestion.
