A new customs yard has been opened in Vác with more than half a billion forints of private funding, the Parliamentary State Secretary of the Ministry of the Interior (MoI) said on 28 August. Bence Rétvári stressed that the city did not have such a facility before, making Vác a much more important point on the map of international trade, which also serves the development of the city and the surrounding area.

"We can talk about a development that has been going on for several years, which has made Vác an increasingly important location for the arrival of foreign goods in Hungary, or for the export of Hungarian goods abroad," the State Secretary said.

He added that the customs yard's proximity to Budapest would enable it to serve the capital, the northern part of Pest County and Nógrád County.

From the warehouse to the rail link

He pointed out that a smart warehouse has already been set up here, which is one of the largest warehouses in Hungary. The facility is fully digitised and automated. The siding has now been completed and container trains arrive directly from China on these tracks in 26 days, he added.

Speaking about the customs yard, he said that in addition to the indoor part, there is also a large outdoor area, which means that it is not just an administrative service.

The customs yard is operated by NAV, while the costs of the investment have been fully borne by the investor building the smart warehouse, the State Secretary said.
