Fake Dior X Air Jordan 1 shoes seized in massive, $4.3M Texas bust: This is how counterfeit footwear were found
The shipment -- valued at more than $4.3 million -- included more than 1,800 pairs of counterfeit Limited Edition Dior X Air Jordan 1 shoes destined for Mexico. CBP says its officers targeted 60 boxes that originated from Hong Kong and were manifested as Ball Golf for an exam. Due to the poor quality of workmanship, incorrect packaging, and previous experience with similar products, CBP says officers determined the footwear were not authentic items. Counterfeiters trafficking in phony merchandise are not concerned about the American consumer or the damage their fake goods can do to our economy, said CBP Port Director Timothy Lemaux. In fiscal year 2019, Department of Homeland Security says its agencies seized counterfeit footwear for intellectual property rights that recorded a Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price of more than $37 million.
