PHILIPSBURG:--- On Wednesday, June 14, 2023, the lawyer from DISOSA Brand Protection Services, inspected cargo from a 40' (foot) container that Customs confiscated on Friday, March 24, 2023. The container was imported with no cargo manifest and thus all its contents were confiscated. Upon inspection of the contents of the container, Customs officers encountered items from several high-end brands including Louis Vuitton, Nike, and others. Customs suspected these items to be counterfeit and proceeded to inform DISOSA.
The items were inspected by the expert from DISOSA and confirmed to be counterfeit and were consequently seized by DISOSA. The owner of the container agreed to and will pay the brand owners an undisclosed amount of money in compensation to settle this case out of court.
It is not excluded that the rest of the cargo in the container will be destroyed.
