The customs suspected that the goods were counterfeited and submitted to the censorship Department of the Security Bureau for authenticity identification.

The identification results showed that after the goods were counterfeit goods, the customs and Border Protection Bureau immediately seized the goods.

Jennifer Connors, chairman of the West Palm Beach trade enforcement team, said that the experts from the customs and Border Protection Bureau will continue to strictly monitor counterfeit goods. In order to ensure the rights and interests of consumers, the customs and border protection authorities will try their best to prevent counterfeit goods from entering the US market.

Last year, the US Customs and Border Protection Bureau seized 28865 counterfeit goods, estimated at $1 billion 300 million.

Customs and border protection officials said.

Accessories, watches and jewellery are the heaviest category of counterfeit goods they have seized; watches, jewellery and handbags are the highest retail prices of counterfeit goods seized.
