The amount involved is 262,000 US dollars! A large number of counterfeit products were seized

In recent years, various e-commerce and social media platforms have successively introduced regulations to combat counterfeit products. Relevant departments have also attached great importance to such situations, but there are still many sellers who take chances and frequently cross the red line.

Recently, a batch of counterfeit products were seized in a warehouse in the northern part of Nam Dinh Province, Vietnam . These counterfeit products were all brand-name handbags such as Hermès, Louis Vuitton, and Chanel. According to the Nam Dinh authorities, the value of these counterfeit products is about 6 billion Vietnamese dong, or a total of 262,000 US dollars .

It is understood that the number of this batch of counterfeit products is about 20,000 to 30,000 pieces . In order to transport this batch of counterfeit products, the Vietnamese police and other departments mobilized a total of 10 3.5-ton trucks.

Police said they had busted the largest warehouse of counterfeit products in northern Vietnam after a six-month investigation. Generally, sellers were unable to provide the source of the products, and most of the counterfeit products were sold through social media .

In response, a spokesperson for French luxury clothing and accessories brand Hermès said the counterfeit products were not sold on social media or e-commerce platforms in Vietnam, where it only has two official handbag stores in Hanoi’s Hoan Kiem district and Ho Chi Minh City’s District 1.

However, this is not the first batch of counterfeit products seized by Vietnamese authorities, and similar cases occur every year.

Last July, authorities raided a warehouse in Lao Cai, northern Vietnam, where thousands of counterfeit luxury goods were being sold online. Most of the counterfeit products were replicas of brands including Gucci , Chanel, Nike and Adidas.

An employee at the warehouse admitted that on average about 1,000 items were sold through social media every day .

Similar cases have occurred one after another. The Vietnamese police have made every effort to seize all counterfeit products sold in Vietnam and conducted surprise raids on many large warehouses. At the same time, the Vietnamese police and relevant departments have frequently reminded consumers not to buy counterfeit products through social media.

The editor reminds all sellers to be extremely alert and not to cross the red line for the sake of short-term gains. It is advisable to be down-to-earth!
