What’s Ninth on List of 2014 Counterfeit Seizures? Tags and Labels

Apparel and accessories continue to be the number one commodity classification based on number of seizures with 7,922 seizures or 28 percent, while tags and labels come in at just 2 percent. Other counterfeit goods make up the balance, including consumer electronics, pharmaceuticals/personal care, handbags and wallets, footwear, watches and jewelry, optical media, and toys. However, what isn't clear is exactly how the value of the tags and labels is calculated, so one wonders about the legitimacy of tags and labels on all those confiscated goods.
