Taking counterfeit goods out of Vietnam
Counterfeit goods are unlawful to export from Vietnam — trademark and customs law applies on departure as well as arrival, and carriage risks seizure and fines.
Details
Exporting counterfeit goods from Vietnam is unlawful under trademark and customs legislation — counterfeits are contraband in both directions, and customs authorities seize them at exit as well as entry. Travellers carrying obviously fake branded goods (even for personal use) risk confiscation universally and fines in many jurisdictions; the EU, US, and others also seize inbound personal counterfeits. Market purchases of imitation goods should be assumed seizable at any border crossed.
