Over 300 violating products were inspected and seized by the Market Management force during the peak month in Hanoi , Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, Quang Ninh... displayed to help consumers identify them.

The activity aims to promote and raise public awareness and demonstrate strong determination in the fight against counterfeit goods and goods that infringe intellectual property rights in the market.

This is the 17th time the Exhibition Room of the Department of Domestic Market Management and Development has opened its doors to welcome visitors to learn about infringing products discovered and handled by the market management force during market inspection and control.

The showroom is open to the public, businesses, organizations and individuals from June 26 to July 3, 2025. The exhibition includes over 300 violating products that the Market Management force inspected and seized during the peak month in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang , Quang Ninh..., helping consumers identify them.

Displayed products such as handbags, leather wallets, shoes, watches, perfumes, cosmetics, etc. have packaging, logos, and labels that infringe intellectual property rights. Many products pose a potential risk to consumers' health, especially poor quality cosmetics and perfumes of unknown origin.

Among them, many products are almost completely counterfeited in form, style, and identification marks of famous brands such as Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Dior, YSL, Rolex, Nike, Adidas, etc. Typically, Hermes handbags, Rolex watches, Hublot, Chanel and Gentle Monster glasses, and Gucci belts were seized by the Market Management Force at Saigon Square Shopping Center (HCMC), tourist streets in Da Nang City, and cosmetics stores in Quang Ninh, etc.

Mr. Nguyen Thanh Binh, Deputy Director of the Department of Domestic Market Management and Development, said that currently, violators are using increasingly sophisticated tricks to deceive the authorities.

Proposal to increase penalties to increase deterrence

Therefore, in the coming time, the Department will step up market inspection and control, not only in the e-commerce environment but also directly at the points of sale of counterfeit goods and goods of unknown origin. At the same time, it is recommended that ministries and branches, according to their assigned functions and tasks, together with the People's Committees of provinces and cities, direct local authorities to closely coordinate and strictly handle violations according to the law.

Mr. Binh added that regarding the application of IT in detecting counterfeit goods, the Department is implementing a project to build a product traceability platform, initially applying it to a number of products under the management of the Ministry of Industry and Trade such as industrial products such as textiles, footwear, electronics, etc.

Mr. Nguyen Thanh Binh affirmed that right after the peak month, the Department will continue to vigorously implement inspection activities related to food safety, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and functional foods. Coordination with functional forces will be maintained regularly, in order to strictly control and strictly handle violations.

Regarding policy, the Department has proposed to amend Decree 98/2020/ND-CP, which increases the level of administrative penalties for acts of trading in counterfeit and prohibited goods, especially violations of food and pharmaceutical safety. The penalty level is expected to double compared to the current level, and at the same time consider criminal prosecution for serious violations that affect public health.
