The U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency along with the Port of New Orleans announced Monday that they seized $83,000 worth of counterfeit designer products.
Officers seized counterfeit Louis Vuitton and Mac products on Thursday from an express consignment facility.
Officers found 75 Gucci and Hermes belts, as well as Louis Vuitton duffle bags, backpacks, wallets, and purses, and 10 Mac brush kits. All of the items were seized pursuant to 19 USC 1526e for bearing the counterfeit trademarks, according to a news release issued by U.S. Customs.
“Even through challenging times, our officers continue to protect consumers and jobs by intercepting and seizing fraudulent goods,” said CBP Port of New Orleans Director Terri Edwards. “It’s a shame that there are people out there using this time to traffic illegitimate merchandise, but we commend our officers for protecting American consumers from these fraudulent purchases.”
