To strengthen the fight against smuggling and trade fraud, market management teams have increased inspection and control campaigns, focusing on hot spots such as: Wholesale markets, large grocery stores, warehouses in border areas... In June 2025 alone, through inspections, checks, patrols, and controls, Market Management Team No. 1 in the southern Khanh Hoa region discovered 4 violations of counterfeit and poor quality goods; administrative fines of over 104 million VND.
Mr. Nguyen Thuc Binh - Captain of Market Management Team No. 1 in the southern region of Khanh Hoa, said: "The subjects who trade in counterfeit and poor quality goods use many sophisticated fraud methods to deceive consumers, such as: counterfeiting packaging and labels of famous brands; using tricks of "special discounts" or "deep promotions" to sell counterfeit and poor quality goods at very cheap prices compared to the price of genuine goods. The main cases of being deceived are consumers who lack information about the products or shop at unofficial commercial channels. Therefore, consumers themselves need to raise their vigilance and knowledge, becoming smart consumers to protect their own rights."
In addition to strengthening anti-smuggling work, the provincial authorities also strengthen state management in preventing trade fraud. At the same time, they propagate and raise awareness and sense of responsibility of enterprises, organizations and individuals to strictly implement legal regulations related to production, trade and business...
Mr. Tran Quoc Sanh - Deputy Director of the Department of Industry and Trade, said: "To effectively implement the work of combating smuggling and trade fraud, in the coming time, the Department of Industry and Trade will continue to coordinate; direct agencies and functional units to closely follow the grassroots, grasp the area and market; strengthen inspection, examination, patrol and control to promptly detect and handle violations. Promote propaganda, raise awareness and responsibility for enterprises, organizations and individuals to properly implement legal regulations in production and business, ensuring the rights and health of consumers".
