As a result, the list of suspected enterprises had been identified and transferred to Anti-smuggling and Investigation Department, Post clearance audit Department to inspect, investigate and verify to clarify acts of violations.

Customs authorities have proactively connected and exchanged information with customs authorities of other countries and investigation agencies of other countries to fight and prevent fraud, counterfeiting of goods origin, illegal transshipment, protect the legitimate interests of genuine businesses and protect consumers. Cooperating with the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF) to investigate fraud related to origin for several items such as solar panels, painted steel, prawn and white leg shrimp, bicycles, electric bicycles and solar cells. Particularly for the US, Vietnam Customs has asked US Customs to investigate two cases related to plywood and has already investigated, verified and provided information related to three cases of suspected illegal transshipment requested by US Customs.

With a series of timely measures, the fight against fraud, counterfeiting of goods origin has had a clear change and many tricks and fraudulent acts have been exposed, while more and more cases have been discovered and strictly handled. By December 2020, the entire Customs sector had handled 138 cases related to fraud, counterfeiting of origin for imported goods and 52 cases related to fraud, counterfeiting for export goods. The whole Customs sector has collected a total amount of illegal profits, administrative penalties and value of exhibits amounting to VND 103 billion.
