The prices of goods at Vinh market are often not listed, so they are bought and sold at will. Some traders also shared that the large amount of imported goods cannot be guaranteed that all documents are complete, so they are also afraid of being fined.

Vinh Market Management Board is also encouraging and mobilizing people to reopen their businesses; sell goods with clear origin and comply with general regulations of the law, protecting consumer rights.
