Fake Cosmetics Seized, HCM City
HCM City (VNS) — The National Steering Committee on Prevention and Control of Smuggling, Trade Fraud and Counterfeit Goods and HCM City economic police have seized five tonnes of fake cosmetics in District 6, HCM City. The seizure from a storage area of Huyen Trang Cosmetic Company was part of a campaign started last week to uncover a large ring in HCM City, which was smuggling a variety of fake items of luxury brands such as Sasaki, Hikato and Puroz. These products were registered to be produced or imported from countries such as France, South Korea and Japan by Huyen Trang Company. However, the investigators found the fake goods had actually been made in China and smuggled to Viet Nam. The fake goods were labeled with original trademarks before being sold in the domestic market at very high prices. Huyen Trang Company Director, Pham Huyen Trang, 46, from HCM City’s District 1, was the owner of the fake goods and also the main organiser of the smuggling ring. Trang, who has broken the law against smuggling and fake goods, said she had once used some fake cosmetic goods from the Phu Thinh Cosmetic Trading Ltd Company based in Binh Chanh District in HCM City.
