Federal authorities seized more than $30 million in counterfeit designer handbags, backpacks and other goods at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach.
Customs officers and U.S. Homeland Security Investigations special agents seized the shipment Nov. 9, officials said. If the items were genuine, they would have a total estimated value of $30.4 million. “Bad actors exploit e-commerce operations by selling counterfeit and unsafe goods through online platforms, particularly during the holiday season when shoppers are looking for deals,” said Donald R. Kusser, CBP’s port director at the Los Angeles-Long Beach port complex. “If the price of the product seems too good to be true, it probably is. Counterfeit goods are often of poor quality and can even be unsafe for you and your family.
