The brief
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) in Houston intercepted nearly $4 million in counterfeit goods. The seizure included fake designer items from brands such as MLB, Nike, Louis Vuitton, and Jaguar. The operation was part of ongoing efforts to curb the influx of counterfeit products into the United States.
The CBP also seized a traveler's phone and moped after discovering packages worth $238,000. This seizure was part of the same operation that intercepted the nearly $4 million in counterfeit goods. The traveler's involvement in the counterfeit operation is not yet specified.
