Handled over 300 market violations.

Since the beginning of the year, market management forces in the province have implemented a comprehensive range of market inspection and control measures; promptly detecting, preventing, and strictly handling violations, contributing to protecting consumer rights and maintaining a stable business environment.

Market Management Team No. 15 inspects, controls, detects, and handles violations in food business activities.

According to statistics, authorities inspected 425 cases, detecting and handling 329 violations. The total amount collected for the State budget reached over 1.8 billion VND; including approximately 1.75 billion VND in administrative fines and over 100 million VND in tax fines and arrears. Additionally, confiscated goods worth over 600 million VND were ordered to be destroyed.

Regarding the structure of violations, there were 11 cases related to prohibited goods and smuggled goods. In the field of counterfeit goods and intellectual property infringement, 44 cases were detected, resulting in administrative fines of 420 million VND and the forced destruction of infringing goods worth approximately 290 million VND.

Notably, violations in business operations accounted for a large proportion. Common offenses included trading goods of unknown origin; violating regulations on product labeling; failing to display signs stating "No tobacco products sold to persons under 18 years of age" at retail outlets; and failing to publicly display pharmaceutical practice certificates as required.

Authorities have handled 180 violations in this category, with total fines exceeding 900 million VND and confiscated goods valued at over 112 million VND.

The above results demonstrate the proactive and decisive efforts of functional forces in market management. In the coming time, units will continue to strengthen inspection and supervision, focusing on essential goods and sensitive areas; at the same time, they will promote propaganda work and raise awareness of law compliance among business organizations and individuals, aiming to build a healthy, transparent and sustainable market.
