According to a recent report by Cong Thuong, the Market Management Department of Lang Son province in Vietnam has uncovered, inspected, and destroyed nearly 164,000 e-cigarette products and nearly 10 tons of illegally imported e-cigarette accessories. This is the largest quantity of illegal imported e-cigarettes seized to date.
On June 6, 2024, the Fifth Market Management Team of the Xing'an Provincial Market Administration Bureau, in cooperation with the Economic Crime Investigation Department (PC03) of the Xing'an Provincial Public Security Bureau, the Comprehensive Investigation Team of the Tiantu County Public Security Bureau, and the Inspection Team of the Haifang City Customs General Administration, conducted a surprise inspection of a warehouse in Lanshan Village, Shanbian Township, Tiantu County. The warehouse is owned by Chen Chunxia (Trần Xuân Hà).
During the inspection, the inspection team found a total of 163,410 e-cigarette devices and 9,913 kilograms of various e-cigarette accessories in the warehouse. The seized products included e-cigarettes from brands such as FLUM, LOST MARY, and GEEK BAR.
The shipper, Tran Xuan Ha, was unable to provide any invoices, receipts, or related documents to prove the source or origin of these products.
Due to the extremely large quantity of goods, law enforcement officers had to mobilize three large trucks and a significant amount of manpower to transport these items to the Vietnam Industrial and Environmental Development Corporation (in Hing An province) for disposal.
The disposal method involves shredding the product and then incinerating it in a high-temperature furnace.
After the destruction was completed, law enforcement officers made a record and invited relevant personnel to sign and confirm the completion of the destruction process.
