Customs sources cited this as the largest intellectual property rights infringement case ever handled by the local customhouse. The sportswear, made by a garment factory in Shishi, a booming city in east China's Fujian Province, was scheduled to be exported to Russia. Customs officers determined the sportswear fake with the verification by personnel of Nike and Adidas firms in China. They have confiscated the sportswear and further investigation is underway. |
