Tens of thousands of pairs of fake Converse-branded shoes were recently discovered at the northern port of Haiphong.

The shoes were part of 10 containers which were transported from China and transited in Vietnam before being taken to Laos.



The containers were sent by a Lao firm named Phong Phi Phat Company from China to a company in Laos which is a branch of Melody Logistics Ltd.Co. in Hanoi.

The Haiphong Customs Board asked Melody Logistics Ltd.Co. and shipping firms to inform Phong Phi Phat Company to work with them. However, to date, the owner of these containers has not provided any reply; so the goods have been temporarily kept at the port awaiting legal processes.

Haiphong Customs have co-operated with management agencies to continue examining the detained goods. The initial checks showed that tens of thousands of pairs of Converse-branded shoes are fake.

On October 22, the board sent a document to the Lao Embassy in Vietnam, explaining about the reason for seizing the goods.

Nike Vietnam Ltd. Co. said that the pairs of Converse shoes seized by the Haiphong Customs Board are not their firm’s product.
