Hong Kong customs officers have arrested two men and confiscated more than 56,000 counterfeit products worth nearly HK$17 million (US$2.1 million) in a joint operation with mainland Chinese and Macau authorities.
Inspector Terence Wong Tsz-kin of the Customs and Excise Department’s intellectual property transnational investigation division said on Friday that the three-week operation had determined the seized items were destined for overseas.
“During the joint operation, Hong Kong customs seized more than 56,000 counterfeit products, which included smartphones, phone accessories, watches, handbags and shoes,” he said.
