HANOI–Vietnam has said it will crack down on goods of Chinese origin illegally relabeled “Made in Vietnam” by exporters seeking to avoid President Donald Trump’s tariffs on Chinese imports.

Vietnamese customs have found scores of such cases amid the ongoing U.S.-China trade dispute, the department said in a statement posted to a government website on June 9.
