Amidst the complex developments of the COVID-19 pandemic, the transportation of goods by trucks has faced numerous obstacles due to disease control measures. To ensure the smooth flow of essential goods and support business operations, the government has implemented the “green channel” – a prioritized solution for transport vehicles. This article from Xe Tải Mỹ Đình provides a detailed guide on the procedures for green channel registration for trucks, helping businesses and individual transporters easily navigate the process and ensure uninterrupted transportation activities.
Not all types of trucks are eligible for green channel priority. So, which trucks are prioritized for the green channel when entering and exiting Ho Chi Minh City and other provinces? According to regulations from the Department of Transport of Ho Chi Minh City and other provinces, the following types of trucks are facilitated for green channel registration:
- Trucks carrying essential goods: This is the top priority group, including vehicles transporting food and foodstuffs (rice, instant noodles, dried vermicelli, livestock meat, poultry, eggs, vegetables, seafood, etc.), and essential supplies for people’s daily lives.
- Trucks carrying goods for production and business: This group includes vehicles transporting raw materials and goods serving the production activities of factories, industrial parks, and export processing zones.
- Trucks carrying goods for port operations: Trucks transporting goods to and from seaports and river ports, ensuring the import and export supply chain is not disrupted.
- Trucks carrying experts and workers: In some special cases, vehicles carrying experts and workers serving the operations of export processing zones and industrial parks may also be considered for facilitation.
- Transit trucks: Trucks carrying the above types of goods but only passing through Ho Chi Minh City or other provinces (without stopping to load or unload goods) are also prioritized for the green channel.
Trucks carrying essential goods are prioritized in the green channel to ensure supply during the pandemic.
So, what are the procedures for green channel registration for trucks? The green channel registration process has been digitized to maximize convenience for businesses and individuals. Below is a detailed guide on the steps to register for the green channel for trucks:
- Prepare the registration dossier: Businesses or individuals need to prepare an official letter requesting green channel registration (according to the functional agency’s form) and a list of trucks to be registered for the green channel. This list must include complete details about the vehicle such as license plate number, vehicle type, tonnage, driver information, expected transportation route, and type of goods transported.
- Digitize the dossier: The official letter of request and the list of trucks need to be digitized into PDF (official letter) and Excel (truck list) files. Ensure the files are clear, complete, and in the correct format.
- Submit the dossier online: Depending on the type of transportation and locality, the focal point for receiving dossiers will vary.
- Trucks carrying essential goods: The Department of Industry and Trade of provinces and cities will be the focal point for receiving and compiling lists from businesses.
- Trucks carrying goods for production and business, trucks carrying experts and workers: The Management Boards of Export Processing Zones and Industrial Parks or the People’s Committees of Thu Duc City and districts will be the focal points for compiling lists.
- Trucks carrying goods to and from ports: Port management units will be the focal points for receiving registrations.
- Transit trucks: The Department of Transport of the provinces and cities where the vehicle originates will be the focal point for compilation.
- For businesses in Ho Chi Minh City or vehicles traveling to and from Ho Chi Minh City: Registration dossiers are submitted to the Department of Transport of Ho Chi Minh City via email [email protected] or Zalo of the Department of Transport of Ho Chi Minh City.
- Wait for approval and receive results: After receiving the dossier, the functional agency will review it within 24 hours. The approval results and the Vehicle Identification Certificate (with QR code) will be sent back to the registering unit via email, digitized document delivery platform, or Zalo.
- Print and use the Vehicle Identification Certificate: Businesses or individuals self-print the Vehicle Identification Certificate, affix the unit’s seal (if a business), and attach it to the windshield of the vehicle, on the driver’s right side.

- Prepare complete documents: When traveling, drivers need to carry the Vehicle Identification Certificate, green channel approval notice, negative test certificate, and other related documents as required.
- Comply with inspection and control: Trucks and drivers must comply with inspections and controls by functional forces at checkpoints and on the road.
