Smuggling and illegal cross-border transportation of goods has tended to decrease compared to the same period last year, but the volume of infringing goods and complexcases increased in the first quarter, the GDVC reported.
The tricks of smugglers are more sophisticated with the tendency to carry out customs procedures in customs departments with a large volume of import and export goods instead of those with a smallervolume of import and export goods to avoid controls by Customs.
Detected violations mainly are smugglers who have set up bogus companies and donot operate at the registered address and abused the channel classification (green and red channel) for smuggling. Infringing goods mainly are banned goods, small and high-value goods such as drugs, weapons, wildlife products listed under the CITES such as rhino horn, ivory, pangolin scales, mobile phone, cigarettes, and alcohol.
The Ha Noi Customs Department and the North Anti-Smuggling Enforcement Team detected a company showing signs of intellectual property infringement at the checkpoint at IDC My Dinh of Interserco My Dinh Joint Stock Company on January 27 and 28.
The infringing goods were 800 NOVA heating lamps and 8,445 HITACHI heating lamps.
The case is under the investigation by the North Anti-Smuggling Enforcement Team and Bac Hanoi Customs Branch (under Hanoi Customs Department) and other relevant units.
