Fakes and poor quality products have a good chance to mingle with other products in the face of increasing buys in a time so close to Tet holiday. Functional agencies and forces now concentrate on a fight against fakes and poor quality products to protect consumers.

By January 14th, market management team number 1 has operated with full force to collect and punish the sell of safety helmets without origins. Those kinds of helmets are sold at VND 20,000 to VND 60,000 while their production price is at VND 10,000 only.

It is very unsafe to wear because those products can broke by slightest strike. Investigation showed that those products are from outside the province and are spread to pavements of streets. The sellers from other localities come to Binh Duong province and stay in rented houses so that they can sell their products at night.

During their operation, team number 1 has eliminated a selling place at the cross road on Yersin street. However, they faced hostile sellers who struggled to retrieve their confiscated selling products.Head of the team, Mrs. Nguyen Thi Phung said that their force faces such fight very often. By the beginning of 2010, her team has punished 42 cases involving trade cheating some VND 40 million while a parking site was closed for collecting prices exceeding regulations.

Beside poor quality safety helmets, just in one month of 2010, Binh Duong province’s police has discovered and punished some 10 cases of goods transportation without billing and documents, smuggled and banned products including 2,730 tobaco packs, 4,900 kg of textile, and 2.8 tons of electricity appliances.

Major Le Thanh Nghiep, vice chief of PC15 remarked that from now to the Tet holiday, products of tobaco, beverages, cakes, and textile from China would be smuggled to Vietnam by using fake documents. The smuggled products are usually destined to ship and transport stations. It is more and more difficult to discover those cases which prompted Police force PC15 to boost their action against trading violation and stabilize the market during Tet holiday.
