Many smugglers have used garbage trucks to illegally transport goods in the border gates.

According to the local department, Chi Ma and Tan Thanh Border Gates are large and complex areas with huge volume of goods and means of transport.

Crime, smuggling and illegal transportation of drugs and goods across these border gates has been taken place in a complex manner. Criminals have used sophisticated tricks to commit violations.

According to competent agencies at these border gates, areas are facing a high risk of smuggling items such as firecrackers, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, counterfeit goods, goods infringing on intellectual property rights and unknown origin goods.

Although agencies have strengthened inspection and control at the border gates amid Covid-19 pandemic, illegal transportation of goods still occurs at Tan Thanh and Chi Ma Border Gates.

Lang Son Customs Department said the installation of modern equipment needs at the two border gates to support detection of violations of individuals and enterprises is necessary.
