U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is reporting a significant seizure of counterfeit goods at the Blue Water Bridge.
On March 2, officers seized a shipment coming from Canada that contained 30 fake pieces of designer clothing and handbags, with logos including Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior, Gucci and Versace.
Had the items been real, the CBP said they would have been worth over $21,000.
Such goods are typically sold in underground outlets and on third party e-commerce websites.
Across the U.S. in fiscal 2020, CBP seized 26,503 shipments containing goods that violated intellectual property rights.
The total estimated value of the seized goods, had they been genuine, was nearly $1.3 billion.
