HCM City, southern provinces step up efforts against fake goods
HCM City (VNS/VNA) - Officers tasked with preventing fake goods, trade fraud and smuggling in Ho Chi Minh City and southern border provinces have been forced to work hard ahead of Tet (Lunar New Year), which falls on February 12 this year. Last week, the HCM City customs department discovered 14 steel containers that consignee V.V Steel Company described wrongly to evade tax. The company, in Long An province’s Duc Hoa district, made a declaration that would have allowed it to enjoy 0 percent tax instead of the 10-15 percent it had to pay, equivalent to 1 billion VND (43,000 USD).
