INTERNATIONAL FALLS, Minn. — Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Office of Field Operations officers working at the International Falls Port of Entry (POE) recently targeted a rail container destined for the Ranier, Minnesota, POE. In early August, CBP officers inspected the container and discovered merchandise that violated multiple laws and merchandise consisted of 36,000 toy airplanes. Examination of the merchandise led officers to further investigate licenses and trademarks required. Upon discussion with the trademark holders, it was determined that neither the importer, nor the manufacturer were licensed to display trademarks or manufacture the merchandise in question. As a result, CBP seized those items. The counterfeit merchandise had an aggregate manufacturer’s suggested retail price of more than $575,000. Photo provided by: Customs and Border Protection
