According to Mr. Hong Van Hoang - Deputy Director of the Market Management Department, the standing agency of Steering Committee 389 Tay Ninh, in recent times, smuggling, trade fraud, and illegal transportation of goods at border gate areas still occur but on a small scale, mainly consumer goods that border residents split into small pieces and transport from Cambodia to Vietnam through trails, openings and both sides of the border gate. The subjects are passengers entering and exiting the country, drivers, and assistants crossing the border hiding goods in luggage and means of transport to illegally transport across the border.

From the end of 2020 to the beginning of 2022, the Covid-19 epidemic situation has been complicated both domestically and internationally , significantly affecting the export, import, and transit of goods; exit, entry, and transit of people and means of transport. Authorities have strengthened and tightened control over the prevention and control of illegal entry and exit at the border. E-commerce activities have been strong during this time, however, it is very difficult to control.

Since the beginning of 2022, the Covid-19 epidemic has been controlled, production and business activities have been restored and become more vibrant, and economic and social life has gradually returned to normal. Smuggling, trade fraud and counterfeit goods have become more intense and complicated at different times - especially during holidays and Tet, when consumer demand increases.
