Many synchronous solutions have been proposed by the Government, including strengthening inspection, examination and supervision of licensing agencies and organizations, conformity assessment organizations, drawing conclusions and results of State inspections on standards, regulations and quality of goods and strictly handling violations.

The Government requested to improve the effectiveness of coordination between ministries, branches, localities, and local authorities at two levels to synchronously and effectively deploy the work of preventing smuggling and illegal transportation across the border from border areas and border gates into the inland.

In addition, the Government emphasized the need to promote the application of science , technology, and modern equipment in the management, supervision, and control of goods; meeting the requirements of finance, means, technology, digital transformation, and databases to control goods traded on the market.

In addition, the Government noted to step up communication work, raise awareness among people and businesses about the dangers of smuggling, trade fraud, counterfeit goods, poor quality goods, and goods that infringe intellectual property rights, so that people do not assist or cover up violations.
