CBP officers at the port of Cincinnati stopped a shipment on June 3 containing 111 pieces of counterfeit items, including 44 Rolex watch models, 4 Richard Mille watches, 10 Cartier watches, 20 hats from Prada, ALO, Gucci and Coach, and 62 pairs of designer branded sunglasses and glasses. The shipment from Colombia was headed for a residence in Puerto Rico; CBP's Centers of Excellence and Expertise deemed the items inauthentic and seized them for bearing counterfeit versions of registered and recorded trademarks.
