The HCM City People’s Committee has fined the Happy Shopping Joint Stock Company, a television shopping company, VND451 million (US$22,000) for trade violations.
The Go Vap District-based company was found guilty of importing and selling counterfeit goods, selling contraband goods and imported goods without labels in Vietnamese, and employing a foreign labourer without registration.
