The International Anti-Counterfeiting Coalition (IACC) strengthened its partnership with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) by hosting a specialized Law Enforcement IP Training on February 26 at the historic U.S. Custom House in San Francisco. This event provided CBP personnel with hands-on experience in identifying counterfeit goods, further equipping them to combat illicit trade.
Over 126 CBP Officers, Import Specialists, and Fines & Penalties experts participated in the training, engaging directly with 44 rights holders representing a wide range of industries. The interactive, Trade Fair-style format allowed brand representatives to demonstrate key authentication features of their products, ensuring officers are equipped with the knowledge they need to determine product authenticity and interdict counterfeit shipments.
By facilitating direct collaboration between rights holders and CBP, the IACC continues to play a vital role in the global fight against counterfeiting. This training reflects IACC’s ongoing commitment to supporting enforcement efforts, protecting the health and safety of consumers and businesses, and maintaining the integrity of supply chains.
