Customs and Border Protection officers at Louisville’s Worldport seized the three shipments on December 5 and December 8 shipped from Hong Kong and Taiwan, the agency said in a news release on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
On December 5, two shipments from Hong Kong, one headed to a residence in Staten Island, New York, and the other headed to Irving, Texas, were seized. In the first counterfeit shipment, 400 Cartier watches, 26 Moncler hats and 30 Chrome Hearts hats were seized. In the second shipment, eight Cartier and 13 Audemars Piguet watches were found.<\/p>\n
In the December 8 shipment from Taiwan, Customs and Border Protection officers found 80 fake Rolex Cosmograph watches and 80 Rolex Day Date watches headed to Houston.<\/p>\n
As the holiday shopping season continues, Customs and Border Protection reminds people to buy from reputable retailers and be cautious of deals that seem too good to be true.
