Lao Cai is a border area with many potential risks of smuggling confectionery products from abroad, especially mooncakes. Therefore, to effectively monitor and prevent smuggling, the Economic Police Department of the Provincial Police has coordinated with market management forces to conduct surprise inspections of production and business establishments. The focus of the inspections is on supermarkets, retail stores, and especially stalls selling mooncakes in the area.

During surprise inspections at retail outlets, stores, and supermarkets selling mooncakes in the area, authorities did not find any confectionery products of unknown origin. All mooncakes on display had complete purchase and sale documents, and prices and expiration dates were clearly displayed.
