U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers at John F. Kennedy International Airport assigned to the Cargo Control and Enforcement Division last month seized more than 100,000 counterfeit 3M N95 masks in two shipments from Hong Kong, according to CBP officials.
CBP officers made their first interception on Dec. 2 with the second shipment intercepted on Dec. 8. CBP officers consulted with CBP Import Specialists to verify the authenticity of the merchandise and to confirm the possible trademark violations.
The Import Specialists from CBP’s Apparel Footwear & Textiles Center of Excellence and Expertise determined that both shipments were in fact counterfeit. CBP consulted with 3M who confirmed that the merchandise was not authentic. In total there were 144,000 pieces of counterfeit merchandise seized. If genuine, the goods would have had a Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price of $158,400.
