US Customs and Border Protection officers in Kentucky say they intercepted millions of dollars worth of counterfeit designer watches last month
Several shipments of the fake goods – which included Rolex, Omega and Cartier labels – were discovered at the Louisville shipping hub in July, according to a news release. If the 130 watches contained in nine shipments from Hong Kong were real, they would have a suggested retail price of over $4.24 million, the customs agency reported. CBP’s trade experts at the Centers of Excellence and Expertise found all of the watches were counterfeit.
Authorities say most of the shipments were en route to Florida and other locations. All the watches were seized for infringing on protected trademarks, according to the release. On a typical day in fiscal year 2022, CBP reported it seized $8 million worth of products with intellectual property rights violations.
