Vietnam Customs will auction 200 containers, many of them with counterfeit goods from China, which have remained unclaimed for four months.
Individuals and businesses have expressed interest in buying them, but customs authorities are determined to publicly auction them, customs chief Nguyen Van Can said at a recent meeting.
In September, authorities had seized the containers at the Kim Thanh International Border Gate in Lao Cai province and found items such as clothes tagged with ‘Made in Vietnam’ labels and knockoffs of popular brands like Gucci and Adidas, according to VnExpress.
