Exposing the serious problem of counterfeit brand-name goods in the U.S. market In recent years, counterfeit brand-name goods have been raging in the U.S. market, bringing great distress to consumers' shopping experience.
The most important places for these fakes are China and Hong Kong, accounting for seventy or eighty percent. According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, they display seized counterfeit brand-name merchandise every year, and more than 30 percent of them are seized at New York ports.
As one of the places with the highest concentration of imported goods in the United States, New York imports a huge value of goods every year, which brings great challenges to customs inspection. As a result, the problem of counterfeit brand-name goods has become more prominent in New York.
Although China and Hong Kong are the main places for counterfeit goods, there is also a trend of increase in other countries.
Countries including Thailand, Turkey, the Philippines and India have also been implicated in the problem of counterfeit goods.
In recent years, the number of fakes in India has also been increasing. Online sales have become the main channel for counterfeit goods to flow into the US market.
With the development of e-commerce, the number of counterfeit goods sold using the Internet is increasing. According to **, 1% to 2% of online purchases entering the U.S. in 2022 may be fake.
Counterfeit brand-name goods pose a serious hazard to the U.S. market and consumers. There is a wide variety of counterfeit brand-name goods on display, including bags, wallets, hats, jerseys, mobile phones, and more.
Among them, counterfeit drugs can cause serious harm to human health, while counterfeit electronic products can also cause fires. In addition, counterfeit goods with inferior materials also have potential safety hazards, and the harm to children caused by harmful substances such as lead contained in counterfeit toys cannot be ignored.
The problem of counterfeit brand-name goods not only has an impact on the U.S. economy, but also poses a threat to U.S. security. Counterfeits attempt to steal, copy, and substitute American goods, causing damage to the U.S. economy.
In addition, counterfeit goods cause a serious burden on the country as a result of rising unemployment and the loss of tariffs. What's more serious is that terrorist organizations may also use fake goods to raise funds, which increases the hidden danger of ***.

Only when consumers and consumers work together can we establish a fair and healthy market environment, protect the rights and interests of consumers, and at the same time safeguard the country's economy and security.
