The Z121 fireworks line of the Ministry of National Defense has become a commodity "hunted" by many people when the Lunar New Year is approaching. As demand increases, supply also "follows suit". On groups and online markets, many accounts publicly announce selling prices, based on customer demand for wholesale or retail, selling prices will change.
In the role of someone who needs to buy large quantities of "selling goods" today such as: pellets, flashing pellets, flower spray,... reporters cannot help but be confused by the price matrix.
Contacting account holder H.G (Hanoi), reporters received an invitation: "The same price for spray balloons and flash spray balloons is 410,000 VND/set. If you take a large quantity or take wholesale from us, the price is 450,000 VND/set".
When mentioning importing goods for resale, this account holder said: "Re-selling to get a large quantity at a price reduced by only 5,000 VND/rack, ensuring complete papers. When customers ask for invoices and documents, you give them and it's done".
With products being 25-tube pellet sprayers manufactured from December 2025 to January 2026, diverse price ranges from 400,000 - 450,000 VND/line.
Compared to the listed selling price of Chemical Company Limited 21 (Z121), the price of D16x25 pellet sprayers is being offered for sale nearly 1.5 times higher, with a difference of about 100,000 - 150,000 VND/set.
Continuing to contact an account holder named V.N (Hanoi), the price of spray cannons and flashing spray cannons ranges from 420,000 - 450,000 VND/scene depending on the quantity.
Account holder V.N advertised for sale: "Production is available every month, the important thing is how much to get. Buying in boxes is 400,000 VND, buying retail is 440,000-450,000 VND/rack".
When reporters suggested taking large quantities to resell, making a profit near Tet, account holder V.N affirmed: "There are full invoices but sold secretly. You take 10 boxes of all kinds, we set the price at 420,000 VND/set".
Meanwhile, examining Decree No. 137/2020/ND-CP of the Government on management and use of firecrackers, Clause 2, Article 14 clearly states:
2. Fireworks business must ensure the following conditions, specifically:
a) Only organizations and enterprises under the Ministry of National Defense are allowed to trade in fireworks and must be granted a Certificate of eligibility for security and order by a competent Police agency; ensure conditions on fire prevention and fighting, incident prevention and response, and environmental protection;
b) Warehouses, means of transportation, equipment, and tools serving fireworks business must be suitable and ensure conditions for preservation, transportation, fire prevention and fighting;
c) Managers and service staff related to fireworks business must be trained in safety techniques;
d) Fireworks are only allowed to be traded to ensure standards and technical regulations according to regulations.
Business organizations must have a Certificate of eligibility for security and order, ensuring full standards for warehousing, transportation, and safety techniques.
Individuals not belonging to the licensed distribution system are not allowed to buy and resell in any form.
This is to limit the situation of floating fireworks, fake goods, and goods that do not meet safety standards in the market. However, the situation of "selling to others" still blatantly occurs on online markets and groups.
