Ministry moves to tackle smuggling
HA NOI (VNS) — Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade Do Thang Hai on Tuesday urged the nation’s market watch forces to take more drastic measures to curb smuggling and other forms of trade fraud in the second half of this year.
Addressing a conference on Tuesday, Hai asked them to concentrate on six “hot” groups of goods that were usually smuggled or faked – fertiliser, fuel, liquefied gas, helmets, cigarettes and poultry.
He said that the ministry would improve the legal framework and relevant documents to facilitate the work of market watch forces.
Do Thanh Lam, deputy head of the ministry’s Market Watch Department, said that so far, the Government has issued 45 decrees on fines for violations involving the production, trade and transport of products including those that tend to be smuggled or counterfeited.
