The batch was found during a police raid at the headquarters of Zenpali Company at the Eco Green Building in Thanh Tri District on October 3. On the first floor of the company's 1,000-square-metre area, police found dozens of staff members packing perfume for delivery. A corner was set up for livestream activities while another corner stored over 10,000 bottles of perfume with brand names of True Love, First Love, Mon Paris, and Maiden, Karri, and others.

But a close inspection showed that there was no indication of where they were made. Barcodes on the bottles had a series of numbers underneath starting with 697, indicating that they came from China. However, there was no information written in Vietnamese as regulated so they were rated as illegally-imported products.

A representative from the company was able to present a certificate of business registration dated 2018 and a certificate of local business registration dated early 2023, both issued by the Hanoi Department of Planning and Investment.

However, they were unable to show invoices and documents proving their legal origins.

Authorities are further investigating the case.
