IACC Two-Day Training in Cincinnati Strengthens Enforcement Efforts

IACC U.S. Law Enforcement IP Training Summary
Port of Cincinnati, Ohio
April 14-15, 2026

The International AntiCounterfeiting Coalition (IACC), in partnership with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), recently conducted two comprehensive training days in Cincinnati, Ohio, as part of our Law Enforcement Training Program. This initiative is designed to equip enforcement personnel nationwide with the knowledge, tools, and practical skills necessary to effectively identify and intercept counterfeit goods.

Hosted at the CBP Airport Facility and tailored to meet specific requests from CBP personnel, the program delivered eight training sessions over two days to accommodate varying officer shifts. The training brought together more than 30 CBP officials each day and featured a brand-led presentation format, with rights holders providing targeted instruction, hands-on product identification techniques, and authentication strategies to strengthen frontline enforcement capabilities and enhance interdiction efforts.

Collaborative efforts such as these are critical to disrupting the flow of counterfeit goods, strengthening enforcement outcomes, and safeguarding legitimate commerce.

The IACC remains firmly committed to supporting law enforcement through impactful partnerships and specialized training initiatives.
