$800K of Counterfeit Purses and Hats Seized by CBP Officers in Louisville

On December 4, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers in Louisville intercepted two shipments containing counterfeit hats and handbags worth over $800,000, if they were real.

The first shipment was arriving from China, while the second shipment arrived from Vietnam. Each package was mis-manifested, and CBP officers inspected the parcels to determine the admissibility of its contents in accordance with CBP regulations. When the first shipment, which was destined for Texas, was opened officers found 938 counterfeit Louis Vuitton hats. If these hats were real they would have been worth $764,470. The second shipment, destined for a residence in local Columbia, KY, contained 29 counterfeit Louis Vuitton handbags. If these purses were real, they would have been worth $56,550. In all, CBP officers seized $821,000 worth of counterfeit goods.
