Last month in Los Angeles hundreds of of counterfeit Hermès bags
worth around #10 million pounds coming in from China were seized! US Customs and Borders Protection seized two shipments
from China - and over 1,500 fake bags - at the Long Beach port in
February, worth $14.1 million (£9.36 million).
In the words of CBP's L.A. Field office's Director, Todd Owen, he said:
"Once again this seizure demonstrates the high level of skill
and vigilance of our officers in protecting the intellectual
property rights of companies and individuals".
"As well as
preventing the proliferation of counterfeit luxury handbags,
potentially damaging our national economy."
No arrests have yet been made in connection with the goods
seized.
