The inspection team acknowledged the achievements of Cam Pha City and agreed with the limitations of the locality, which are: The work of detecting, checking and handling violations in e-commerce activities still faces many difficulties due to the large and complicated road and sea routes in the area; people still have the habit of using fake and cheap goods, especially fake goods of famous brands; the work of monitoring, checking and handling violations faces many difficulties and low efficiency due to the lack of specialized staff in wards and communes... At the same time, the team also clarified a number of contents related to the problems and received recommendations to synthesize and report to the Provincial Steering Committee 389 for resolution.

The delegation also agreed with a number of tasks of the City Steering Committee 389 in strengthening closer coordination between functional forces in the work of preventing and combating smuggling, trade fraud, and counterfeit goods in the last months of 2024 and before, during, and after the Lunar New Year 2025.
