Louisville CBP Intercepts $43 Million in Counterfeit Watches
CBP officers in Louisville seized a significant shipment of counterfeit watches with an estimated MSRP of $43 million, underscoring continued aggressive enforcement against intellectual property rights (IPR) violations at express consignment and mail facilities. Importers of watch and luxury goods should ensure supply-chain authenticity documentation is in order.
