What began as a trail of scattered clues ended in a decisive enforcement action. ATB IP team uncovered a major counterfeit operation where 10 shipping containers were used as warehouses to store fake body and skin care products. We seized over 300,000 counterfeit body care items, with an estimated value of AED 4,238,840.
The importer frequently moved these containers from one location to another to avoid detection. The hard work took three months to locate one place where these containers were kept for some time.
Upon successfully locating the site, we swiftly secured a two-hour search warrant from the UAE authorities. A coordinated raid was then carried out, resulting in the seizure of approximately 300,000 counterfeit body and skin care products.
All 10 containers were found to be fully stocked with fake items, marking a significant success in the fight against counterfeit goods.
This case demonstrates the importance of persistence and cooperation in fighting counterfeit goods.
