Interview : Mr. Do Gia Phan


Mr. Do Gia Phan - Vice President and General Secretary

of the Vietnam Standards and Consumers Association.

We cant say that hand-carried products dodge the law

because it depends on the type of the product.Hand-carriedproducts usually come in small quantities.Because tax is

not being paid, they can be sold for cheaper.The State

budget is certainly losing revenue.

Hand-carried products are unofficial imports.Quality

control is different or lacking cpmpletely. They are oftengoods that are not found in the domestic market, so

establising if they are good or bad quality can be very

difficult.Consumers take a risk in buying these products.
