CBP In Charleston Seizes Counterfeit Sports Clothing)
contacts for this news release
Charleston, S. C. — U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers at the Port
of Charleston seized 36.000 pieces of counterfeit Major League Baseball and
National Basketball Association team jerseys and shorts, along with other
commingled merchandise in a shipment last month, officials announced today.
CBP officers discovered the shipment of counterfeit merchandise in a
container during an examination. The cargo consisted of 2 piece boy’s sport
clothing displaying counterfeit trademarks for the Pittsburgh Pirates, New
York Yankees, New York Mets, Chicago Cubs, Florida Marlins, Texas Rangers,
Detroit Tigers, and Dallas Mavericks. After confirming the shipment was
counterfeit, the merchandise was seized on October 29. The shipment had a
domestic value of $181,694 and a total manufacturers suggested retail price
of $1,655,280.
“CBP is combating the importation of fake items and protecting the American
economy by providing enhanced training for our officers, additional
awareness and enforcement of Intellectual Property Rights laws, as well as
increased outreach to the trade community," said Robert A. Fencel, CBP area
port director in Charleston. “Through these efforts, CBP will continue to
play a key role in protecting both the American consumer and domestic
businesses.”
CBP has designated intellectual property rights enforcement as a priority
trade issue. The strategic approach to enforcement is multi-layered and
includes seizing fake goods at U.S. borders, pushing the border outward
through audits of infringing importers and cooperation with our
international trading partners, and partnering with industry and other
government agencies to enhance these efforts. CBP devotes considerable
resources and personnel to the enforcement of property rights.
