Vietnam is set to see very strong growth in trade over the coming years, Hence, the country is making enormous efforts in improving and easing their border gates for better transportation and procedures. Trade facilitation can contribute to reducing the wedge between export and import prices. In reducing trade costs, prices for consumers and firms that import inputs for production decrease and, in turn, profits increase, especially at important border gates where greater trade volume takes place. To achieve desirable profits, selecting key border gates to make more focused investment is the first step.
