$317K In Fake Designer Merchandise Seized In Philadelphia.
More than $300,000 worth of fake luxury handbags, clothing, shows, and more were seized by U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers in Philadelphia recently, according to officials.
An express shipment at Philadelphia International Airport was examined on Feb. 14.
In the shipment, officials found handbags, wallets, sneakers, shoes, sweatshirts, hats and belts bearing designer brands Burberry, Channel, Gucci, Hermes, Louis Vuitton, Moschino and Versace.
Officers detained the shipment due to the poor quality and packaging of the merchandise.
CBP officers worked with CBP’s Consumer Products and Mass Merchandising Centers for Excellence and Expertise, the agency’s trade experts and verified through the trademark holder that the products were counterfeit. Officers seized the shipment February 24.
