AN GIANG — Authorities in the Cuu Long (Mekong) Delta province of An Giang say they are unable to clamp down on cigarette smuggling from Cambodia in the absence of detailed guidance for a new decree that makes it a criminal offence.
Decree 76, which came into effect on September 1, makes smuggling of 1,500 packs or more a crime and requires the case to be transferred to the prosecuting agency for filing charges.
Smugglers caught bringing in fewer than 1,500 packs will be fined up to VND100 million (US$5,200).
Earlier, the maximum penalty for smuggling was VND70 million.
