This situation shows that the situation of trading in counterfeit goods and counterfeit goods at traditional markets is still common, despite regulations and control efforts by the authorities.

Mr. Nguyen Quang Huy - Deputy Head of the Ho Chi Minh City Market Management Department, emphasized that checking and handling counterfeit goods is always the top priority task of the market management force. The Ho Chi Minh City Market Management Department regularly strengthens the management of the area to promptly detect and handle violations.

Ho Chi Minh City is a large urban area with a high density of business establishments, shopping malls, traditional markets and online business forms. market management forces, despite their efforts, are unlikely to comprehensively control such a large and complex area.

In addition, during the inspection process, the authorities may face opposition and lack of cooperation from violators. In areas famous for counterfeit goods trading, there are often scammers. When detecting market management forces approaching, they quickly notify violating organizations and individuals to promptly close down, deal with and avoid inspection.

In this situation, the Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee has directed the Department of Industry and Trade to preside over and coordinate with relevant departments, branches and units to implement the Prime Minister's Official Dispatch on continuing to promote the peak of the fight against, preventing and repelling the situation of smuggling, trade fraud, counterfeit goods, and infringement of intellectual property rights.

According to this direction, Ho Chi Minh City will urgently review and make a specific list of locations that need to focus on stepping up inspection and handling such as traditional markets, shopping malls, business areas with signs of violations... This peak period will focus on many types of violations such as counterfeit goods, fake milk, fake drugs, fake functional foods, unquality food and goods violating intellectual property rights.

In the context of counterfeit goods directly affecting consumer rights, brand reputation and a healthy business environment, the drastic and synchronous participation of authorities, businesses and consumers is a key factor to gradually repel this problem.
