Products suspected of counterfeiting in Vietnam.

As the news published by Customs News, Hai Phong Customs is clarifying a violation sign of one container of shoes imported temporarily from China.

Specifically, there was a white stamp with the words ‘MADE IN VIETNAM’ attached with the information written in Argentina inside the shoe branded TOPPER.

The shipment was declared by Lac Lac Co., Ltd (address in Hanoi) to implement temporary import and re-export procedures with information of sports shoes of all kinds in Vietnam.

However, through a detailed audit, the customs authority determined the shipment had suspicious signs of trademarks and origin of goods.

Specifically, the goods name and bill of lading represented Vietnam origin while the loading port was Xiamen port (China); the bill of lading was ‘PO # CARTON NO. IMPORTER: ALPARGATAS S.A.I.C MADE IN VIETNAM ‘.

Facing the above questions, Hai Phong port area 1 Customs Branch transferred the shipment to red channel for physical inspection.

As a result, the quantities and types of goods were correct as declared; on the shoes were labelled TOPPER words, inside of the shoe was a white stamp with the words ‘MADE IN VIETNAM’ attached with the information written in Argentina.

Currently, all the information and documents has been transferred to the Customs Enforcement Unit (Hai Phong Customs Department) in order to clarify the signs of violation with the above shipment.
