Handbags, Legos among more than $500K in fake goods seized at Houston-Galveston seaport
Expensive handbags and children’s toys were among the hundreds of phony items from a shipment seized by U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers working at the Houston-Galveston seaport. The more than 200 counterfeit handbags and nearly 50 packages of plastic building blocks had an estimated retail price of more than $500,000. The items were seized on Sept. 29.
“Intercepting counterfeit goods protects the trademark holder, the unsuspecting consumer, and strengthens the U.S. economy,” said Houston CBP Area Port Director Dave Fluty. “Import safety and protecting intellectual property rights are priority trade issues. We will take every opportunity to intercept counterfeit goods entering through this port.”
