According to the Department of Domestic Market Management and Development ( Ministry of Industry and Trade ), after a month of implementing the peak campaign to prevent and combat smuggling, trade fraud, counterfeit goods and intellectual property infringement, market management forces nationwide have inspected 3,891 cases, detected and handled 3,114 violations with a total fine of more than 63 billion VND.
Of which, the amount of administrative fines exceeded 32 billion VND, the value of confiscated goods was nearly 31 billion VND and the budget was nearly 36 billion VND. Notably, up to 26 cases with signs of criminality were transferred to the investigation agency, an increase of 50% compared to the same period in 2024.
Analysis of the violation structure shows that counterfeit goods and intellectual property infringement account for the largest proportion with 1,580 cases, equivalent to 52% of the total number of cases, resulting in a fine of over VND 16 billion. Next are 648 smuggling cases, accounting for more than 21%, with a fine of over VND 6 billion.
The peak period recorded many prominent cases that were discovered and promptly handled such as: The case of temporarily seizing more than 500 fake products of high-end brands in the center of Da Nang on May 20; the case of a fake stocking production facility in La Phu ( Hanoi ) on May 26; the inspection of Saigon Square (HCMC) on May 29, seizing thousands of fake products of famous brands. In particular, the inspection of 4 cosmetic facilities in Hanoi on June 9 discovered 3,500 smuggled products of unknown origin, showing the complexity and sophistication in mixing fake goods with legal goods.
In particular, in many localities, inter-sectoral coordination has clearly demonstrated its key role in improving the effectiveness of the fight. Typically, in Kien Giang, the market management force and the police discovered more than 700 smuggled fashion products with signs of counterfeiting worth more than 210 million VND; or in Ninh Binh, where thousands of shoes and children's clothing products of unknown origin were seized with the coordination of the cyber security force.
In addition, special groups of goods such as drugs and functional foods are also closely monitored. Particularly for these items, from 2021 to now, market management forces nationwide have handled nearly 1,000 cases, of which 783 cases were related to milk violations.
The Department of Domestic Market Management and Development said that in the coming time, it will continue to direct market management nationwide to strengthen market surveillance through digital technology, interconnect data and perfect legal mechanisms suitable for the characteristics of modern commerce, especially e-commerce. Topics on checking counterfeit goods and goods infringing intellectual property rights will continue to be deployed, along with propaganda activities and signing commitments with organizations and individuals doing business on digital platforms to raise awareness of law compliance.
