Counterfeit Coach and Fendi Handbags, Footwear From China Seized

Los Angeles, California - For the second consecutive week, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers at Los Angeles-Long Beach seaport seized over $1 million worth of counterfeit handbags and footwear. Had the items been legitimate the value would have been over $24 million.

On August 27, CBP officers and import specialists intercepted a shipment manifested as electronic appliances arriving from China. CBP officers examined the container and discovered 59,198 handbags and 17,400 pairs of footwear. A thorough inspection of the items by a CBP import specialist determined the items to be counterfeit. The counterfeits consisted of fake Coach and Fendi handbags and phony Coach footwear.

CBP officers seized the goods for federal violation of merchandise bearing a counterfeit trademark. “Our enforcement actions continue to pay off; we have an ongoing commitment that is focused towards intercepting commodities which violate any laws before they reach the consumer,” said Kevin W. Weeks, director of CBP Los Angeles office of field operations.

The importation of merchandise with counterfeit trademarks is illegal. As of now this merchandise has not been claimed by the importer. Importers violating these laws may be subject to civil penalties and or criminal prosecution.

The Academy (me and my pooch Ziggy) loves a free spirit, and out on Tour, where there's a dearth of them, there's no one like Ryan. He played the entire year without a single logo either on his bag or his clothing. If he represented Breathe-Right Nose Strips, he'd wear the see-through kind.
