As previously reported by Lao Dong Newspaper, on May 20, working groups under the Da Nang Market Management Department inspected a series of fashion stores in Hai Chau District - a central area with a large number of tourists, especially international visitors.
Despite conducting a surprise inspection, the authorities still recorded many stores closing unusually, dragging curtains to cover the facade, locking the inside to avoid being inspected.
The working group visited stores such as Black Label (No. 156 Tran Phu), CoCo Accessory & Bag (144 Tran Phu), Gu (No. 27 Hung Vuong), Mirror Shop (No. 15 Nguyen Thai Hoc) all located in Hai Chau district to check - the central area with a large number of tourists, especially international visitors.
According to the synthesis of the working groups, on May 20 alone, nearly 2,000 products including handbags, wallets, clothes, accessories, shoes with famous brands such as Hermes, Chanel, Gucci, Christian Dior, Celine, Prada, Louis Vuitton...
Many goods of unknown origin and no invoices or documents have been temporarily detained at inspection stores to continue verifying signs of violations and handling them in accordance with the provisions of law.
According to Mr. Tran Viet Hung - Head of Market Management Department, this is not the first time that market forces have deployed inspections of items violating intellectual property rights, especially in urban areas with a strong tourism service industry.
The inspection not only aims to handle violations but also contributes to cleaning the market, protecting the rights of consumers, especially international tourists, and enhancing the reputation of goods in Vietnam.
Mr. Hung said that these activities are being implemented within the framework of Plan 888 of the Market Management Force and will continue to be expanded in the coming time nationwide, especially in large urban areas and key areas.
Up to now, shops in this area continue to close, dragging curtains to cover the facade, locking the inside to avoid being inspected in the next round.
