COUNTERFEIT goods worth at least P15 million were seized by operatives of the Customs Investigation and Intelligence Service-Manila International Container Port (CIIS-MICP) following a raid on a private warehouse in Meycauayan, Bulacan.
In an after operations report to Customs Commissioner Rey Leonardo Guerrero, CIIS authorities said that found inside the warehouse were counterfeit bags and other food items and alcoholic beverages.
Intelligence group chief Deputy Commissioner Rainiel Ramro said the warehouse has been sealed and placed under Customs custody for further inventory and investigation.
He added that the importer of the hot goods also faces charges for violation of Republic Act (RA) 10863, also known as the Customs Modernization and Tariff Act (CMTA), and the Intellectual Property Laws (IPL) for importing counterfeit products.
