CBP在达拉斯-沃斯堡机场截获11只假冒Richard Mille手表：真品市值260万美元
达拉斯——美国海关与边境保护局（CBP）宣布，该局官员近日在达拉斯-沃斯堡国际机场截获11只假冒的 Richard Mille 豪华手表。这批货物从中国运抵，原定再转运至美国东南部多个目的地；若为真品，制造商建议零售价合计达260万美元。CBP 的贸易执法专业部门经鉴定确认这批手表为赝品，已因涉嫌假冒注册商标被查扣。
CBP 达拉斯地区港口主任 Jayson Ahern 表示：「假货交易常常为从事洗钱、毒品走私和其他非法贸易的犯罪组织提供资金。我们的 CBP 官员每天都在一线打击造假者，同时保护合法的美国企业、美国的就业岗位和国家经济安全。」
CBP 表示，打击假冒商品是该局贸易执法的重点之一，服装、鞋类、手表和珠宝是常被查获的仿冒品类别；该局同时提醒消费者，假冒产品可能由劣质甚至有害的材料制成，购买假货也可能使犯罪组织从中获利。

CBP Seizes 11 Counterfeit Richard Mille Watches Worth $2.6 Million at Dallas Fort Worth Airport
DALLAS — U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announced that its officers at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport recently seized 11 counterfeit Richard Mille luxury watches. The shipments had arrived from China and were destined for multiple locations across the southeastern United States; had the watches been genuine, their combined manufacturer's suggested retail price would have been $2.6 million. CBP's trade enforcement specialists determined the watches were not authentic, and they were seized for bearing counterfeit registered trademarks.
"The sale of fake goods often funds criminal organizations involved in money laundering, drug trafficking, and other illicit trade," said Jayson Ahern, CBP's area port director in Dallas. "Our CBP officers are on the front lines every day guarding against defrauders, while protecting legitimate American businesses, American jobs, and the nation's economic security."
CBP said counterfeit goods are a trade-enforcement priority, with apparel, footwear, watches and jewelry among the most commonly seized categories. The agency also cautions consumers that counterfeit products may be made with substandard or harmful materials, and that buying fakes can funnel money to criminal organizations.
