At the time of inspection, Nguyen Anh Tuan was trading in the following goods: 10 bags of green thread (1kg/bag), 8 kg of dried chicken thread, 8 kg of dried beef thread, 10 kg of dried banana and 50 kg of papaya thread, which are goods of unknown origin. In addition, the Inspection Team discovered that the store was trading in many types of food (such as green Thai tea, potatoes, sausages) which are foreign-made goods, without invoices and documents as required by law.

The business owner could not present any invoices or documents to determine the legality of all the above goods. The Captain of Market Management Team No. 4 issued a decision to fine the business household Nguyen Anh Tuan for trading in food of unknown origin and trading in smuggled food with a total fine of 10 million VND, and at the same time forced the destruction of all the violating goods worth nearly 20 million VND.

The amount of food inspected and destroyed at the scene.
