* Anh Thu : Buying hand-carried products has been very popular in Vietnam nowadays. Despite the fact that buying hand-carried products is cheaper and easier than official imports , costumers take a risk in buying them . If you don’t have a lot of experiences , you shouldn’t buy these goods to avoid buying a fake or poor quality product.
