In order to continue to improve the investment and business environment and accompany the business community, the Cao Bang Provincial People's Council has passed Resolution No. 01/2026/NQ-HĐND stipulating the collection level, collection regime, payment, management and use of border gate infrastructure fees in the province.
A noteworthy point is that the toll rate for using border gate infrastructure has been adjusted down an average of 20% compared to before.
At the same time, some imported goods that were once subject to fees are now abolished, such as cars, self-driving cars, specialized vehicles, specialized machinery of all kinds with equivalent functions.
According to assessments, this move is of practical significance to import and export businesses.
In the context that logistics costs are still a major pressure, reducing infrastructure fees directly contributes to cutting circulation costs, customs clearance of goods, reducing financial burdens and improving production and business efficiency.
Not only stopping at immediate support, Resolution No. 01/2026/NQ-HĐND is also expected to create more motivation to attract businesses to expand operations in border gate areas, promote border gate economic development and strengthen international economic integration in the new period.
This policy adjustment is considered a timely solution, showing the province's determination to remove difficulties, accompany businesses, and towards building a transparent, competitive and sustainable investment environment.
In recent years, Cao Bang province has devoted many investment resources to improve the border infrastructure. In 2025 alone, Cao Bang is simultaneously implementing many projects with a total capital of more than 158 billion VND, focusing on modernizing border trade infrastructure.
It is known that in addition to more than 333km of border adjacent to China, Cao Bang mountainous province currently has 2 pairs of international border gates connecting: Tra Linh (Vietnam) - Long Bang (China) and Ta Lung (Vietnam) - Thuy Khau (China).
Along with that, the bilateral border gate pair Ly Van (Vietnam) - Thac Long (China) has also officially welcomed passersby.
In the period 2026-2030, Cao Bang identified the border gate economy as one of the 3 major public economic pillars, determined to bring the border gate economy to develop in a methodical and modern direction.
