According to the regulations of the Provincial People's Committee, organizations and individuals producing and trading oranges that are granted a Certificate of the right to use geographical indications must agree to use the protected "Vinh" orange logo on commercial packaging and business signs.
The traceability stamp is used to attach to each orange and to the packaging of goods containing oranges bearing the geographical indication “Vinh”. All types of oranges bearing the geographical indication “Vinh” are affixed with traceability stamps before being circulated on the market.
The Department of Standards, Metrology and Quality organizes the management of code issuance, stamp blanks, stamp printing, issuance and use of traceability stamps for oranges bearing the geographical indication "Vinh".
The traceability stamp code is issued for each orange variety, each season, each orange production and trading establishment and has a certain expiry date. The expiry date of the traceability stamp code is calculated from the start of the orange harvest until the expiry date of the orange fruit. The Department of Standards, Metrology and Quality is responsible for notifying the unit of the expiry date of the stamp code when it is issued.

Establishments that have been granted traceability stamps, if the stamps have expired, are responsible for publicly announcing on mass media to organizations, individuals and consumers so that they do not use that type of orange or fruit. At the same time, they are responsible for notifying the recall of this orange or fruit product, the traceability stamp and are not allowed to use the issued traceability stamp.
The Provincial People's Committee strictly prohibits organizations and individuals from arbitrarily printing, issuing, using, transferring, exchanging, buying, selling, erasing, or correcting information specified on the logo and origin tracing stamps bearing the geographical indication "Vinh" for orange products without the consent of the Department of Standards, Metrology, and Quality.
In case an organization or individual violates the provisions of this Regulation and the orange product does not ensure quality or is past its expiry date, the Department of Standards, Metrology and Quality must lock the origin tracing stamp code and notify the facility that was granted the code to take remedial measures.
If the facility does not take remedial measures, the Department of Standards, Metrology and Quality will handle or recommend competent authorities to handle violations according to relevant laws and this regulation.
