CBP Indianapolis Intercepts Over $3 Million in Counterfeit Jewelry
U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers in Indianapolis seized a large shipment of counterfeit jewelry with an estimated retail value exceeding $3 million, highlighting continued CBP enforcement activity targeting intellectual property rights (IPR) violations at the parcel and express consignment level.
We read this seizure as consistent with CBP's sustained prioritization of IPR enforcement in the express and e-commerce channels — our position is that importers of jewelry and fashion accessories should be aware that CBP is actively scrutinizing shipments in these categories regardless of value or mode.
