The counterfeit items, which included phony Apple watches and wireless earphones, were “concealed in generic packaging,” according to Jaime Ruiz of U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
The items included 220 “wrist wearable devices” and 1,200 pairs of wireless headphones, Ruiz said.
“If genuine, the seized products would have had an estimated manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $396,812,” Ruiz said.
The illicit products, arriving in six individual shipments via air cargo, were seized in a one-week period in mid-July.
