Emerging are illegal transportation of prohibited goods such as drugs, firecrackers; smuggled goods, goods of unknown origin, counterfeit goods, poor quality goods such as gasoline, gold, alcohol, food, etc.

The Steering Committee 389 of localities has proactively done a good job of leading, directing and requesting units and forces to proactively carry out the work of combating smuggling, trade fraud and counterfeit goods.

The situation of smuggling, trade fraud, production and trading of counterfeit and poor quality goods did not have complicated developments.

The authorities have detected and handled 4,233 administrative violations; prosecuted 896 cases/1,163 subjects, including: Administrative fines of 36 billion 496 million VND; additional fines, tax arrears of 70 billion 921 million VND; value of infringing goods of 8 billion 289 million VND.

The number of cases detected and handled is not commensurate with reality and requirements; the detection and handling techniques in some areas such as e-commerce and copyright infringement are not really mastered; there are more and more sophisticated tricks, digital technology applications, taking advantage of gaps in the legal corridor for managing e-commerce activities. Drug crimes are still a burning issue with unpredictable consequences.
