Taking advantage of its location next to the Dong Nai River, along with regional connecting road projects passing through the area such as Ring Road 3, Ring Road 4 of Ho Chi Minh City, Ho Chi Minh City - Thu Dau Mot - Chon Thanh Expressway... Tan Uyen City has had many opportunities to promote the development of industry - services - agriculture combined with eco-tourism, contributing to the socio-economic development of the locality.
Exploit the advantages of waterways
In March 2024, the Ministry of Finance recognized the customs clearance location at Thanh Phuoc Dry Port (Tan Uyen City). This is considered a key solution to unlocking logistics potential in Binh Duong in general and Tan Uyen City in particular. Mr. Nguyen Tran Hieu, Head of the Regional Customs Branch XVI, said that according to Development Plan of dry port system for the period 2021-2030, with a vision to 2050, Thanh Phuoc dry port is located on Dak Nong - Binh Phuoc - Ho Chi Minh City transport corridor, connected to DT747A road, National Highway 13 and Dong Nai River inland waterway, with an operating capacity of 100,000-170,000 TEU/year by 2030 and located near the connection location with 14 industrial parks (IPs), large industrial clusters in Tan Uyen City and North Tan Uyen district such as Vietnam - Singapore Industrial Park 2A, Vietnam - Singapore Industrial Park 3, Dat Cuoc Industrial Park... and connecting to some important ports, such as Binh Duong General Port, Hiep Phuoc Port, Cat Lai Port (Ho Chi Minh City), Cai Mep - Thi Vai Port Cluster...
Businesses have expressed that the establishment of Thanh Phuoc Dry Port as a location for customs procedures for domestic import and export creates significant convenience. Instead of having to transport goods to seaports in Ho Chi Minh City and Vung Tau for customs procedures, businesses can now handle these processes directly at Thanh Phuoc Port. This change will shorten transportation times, reduce costs, lessen the burden on ports in Ho Chi Minh City, and alleviate traffic congestion.
