On Wednesday, July 23rd, the International AntiCounterfeiting Coalition (IACC), in partnership with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), conducted a robust training program at the Port of Philadelphia. The event brought together 76 CBP officials – including Officers, Import Specialists, and Fines & Penalties personnel—for a day of practical, rights holder-led instruction.
With participation from 28 rights holders representing a wide range of industries, the training followed an interactive Trade Fair-style format. Brand representatives showcased key authentication features of their products, giving CBP officials valuable, hands-on experience to better identify and intercept counterfeit shipments.
This training is another strong example of the power of public-private collaboration in the fight against fakes. Our sincere thanks go out to all participating brands, CBP leadership, and frontline personnel for their continued partnership and dedication. The IACC is proud to stand alongside law enforcement in protecting supply chains and defending consumers from the threat of counterfeiting.
