VietNamNet Bridge - Smugglers have been capitalising on the duty-free store at Moc Bai border gate with Cambodia to traffic a variety of products to nearby HCM City while officials struggle to check the situation.
Tay Ninh Province's Moc Bai Duty-free Superstore, which is around 500 metres from the border gate, has become a magnet to smugglers shopping for wine, cigarettes, mobile phones, electronic goods, chemicals, cosmetics and car accessories.
Shoppers can easily rent identity cards allowing them to buy more than the VND500,000 (US$25) a day limit.
They can also collect car accessories at open-air markets in Cambodia, then divide them into small batches which they can transport them through the border gate without customs duties.
