This destruction of smuggled tobacco products was carried out under strict supervision from City Permanent Institution No. 389, Market Management Bureau, Vietnam Tobacco Association, and relevant units responsible for handling administrative violations and recent enforcement decisions.
The Ho Chi Minh City Market Management Bureau stated that this is one of the regular activities of the bureau, as part of the 389 Steering Committee, to actively strengthen cooperation with other forces to combat counterfeit and low-quality products, especially foreign tobacco products smuggled from the southwestern border and then resold locally.
