Hong Kong Customs Teams Up with Mainland and Macao Customs to Combat Cross-Boundary Counterfeit Goods Transshipment Activities

Hong Kong Customs teams up with Mainland and Macao Customs to combat cross-boundary counterfeit goods transshipment activities

Hong Kong Customs conducted an enforcement operation with Mainland and Macao Customs from July 20 to 31, during which inspections of goods across the three places and destined for countries in the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Southeast Asia were stepped up, with a view to combating cross-boundary and transshipment counterfeiting activities.

Through intelligence analysis and detailed investigations, Hong Kong Customs in the operation detected 23 related cases at a number of local express couriers and logistics companies, seizing a total of about 38 000 suspected counterfeit goods, including watches, mobile phones, bags, clothing and footwear, with a total estimated market value of about $15 million.

Hong Kong Customs will continue to work closely with the Mainland Customs, Macao Customs and overseas law enforcement agencies to vigorously combat cross-boundary counterfeit goods transshipping activities through intelligence exchanges and joint enforcement actions.

Under the Trade Descriptions Ordinance, any person who imports or exports any goods to which a forged trademark is applied commits an offence. The maximum penalty upon conviction is a fine of $500,000 and imprisonment for five years.

Members of the public may report any suspected counterfeiting activities to Customs' 24-hour hotline 182 8080 or its dedicated crime-reporting email account(crimereport@customs.gov.hk) or online form (eform.cefs.gov.hk/form/ced002).
