How $1.3 Billion Of Counterfeit Goods Are Seized At JFK Airport | Big Business
The sale of counterfeit goods is a multi-billion dollar industry that can have negative impacts on consumers and fuel criminal organizations. In 2020, U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers seized over 26,000 counterfeit goods shipments. We visited Steve Nethersole, a customs officer at JFK, to see how he’s spotting and stopping fakes.

How $1.3 Billion Of Counterfeit Goods Are Seized At JFK Airport | Big Business
You’re not going to get me to sympathize with billion dollar companies ‘losing’ sales of their overpriced garbage to counterfeit goods
Yeah this seems like a sham for paying into capitalism Edit- lemme add something, most of these brands that are being counterfeited are using and supporting sweatshops.
Except cosmetics and things people put on themselves. Now THOSE can be dangerous.
And by buying counterfeits you might support terrorists but ok.
None of this should be taken except for cosmetics in my opinion.
Literally all I could think of while watching this.

He probably got one for everyday of the week😄
I find it fascinating when they said the brands cannot even tell the difference themselves between the fake and the real because that just means the counterfeiter is using the same materials and the same manufacturing process and are still able to make a profit but they are pricing the goods to be more affordable.
Thank you!!!

So taxpayers are paying these officers to protect the billion-dollar company's profits? The same companies that pay little or no income taxes.
I hear you but overall it protects our economy. High sales prices have higher taxes.
@@worldchangingvideos6253 How is a $650 handbag that cost $10 to make and shipped from Asia an economy? If it is a drug or an airplane part, counterfeiting can kill, but a billion-dollar fashion company is so profitable because their products are easy to produce and re-produce. They should pay ALL their income taxes. Look at the FAA’s budget which is financed from the Airport & Airway Trust Fund, which receives its revenue from aviation excise taxes on airline tickets, cargo, and general aviation fuel.
@@worldchangingvideos6253 Why are you simping for multinational corporations who aren't loyal to this country?
@@TheMailmanOfSteel Because IP is largely respected here. You can’t just copy someone and sell it in their name to make a profit out of their design and branding. If you want to make cheap products that look like a luxury brand then do it with your own design and branding.
@@worldchangingvideos6253 it really does not, sure we get some sales tax from it but think about how much money we send to china for manufacturing and shipping if we really wanted to "protect our economy" we would be manufacturing these products in America but that would be expensive for companies that don't really care about us
Today's inflation is a result of corporate avarice, not only problems with the supply chain. We know that the money obtained by the higher prices isn't being transmitted along the supply chain since businesses are reporting record profits. More pricing result in increased revenue for businesses, which stays with them and goes into their pockets. We can rule out supply-related inflation because of this. If your stocks are extremely weak, now is an excellent opportunity to take a battered 401k and convert it to a Roth. Then, your Roth will be tax-free, and you will just have to pay taxes on the substantially reduced current values.
Precisely! The current scenario should be our primary concern; many people are making millions from the downturn in the market, but this kind of information isn't reported in the press.
Well, the best professionals have access to exclusive data and information that is not made available to the general public. Knowing the tactics to employ at this time is one thing; having the knowledge necessary to put them into successful practice is quite another.

Ziarex must be stopped at all costs. People are losing money since their mega clone watches started to be sold as originals on the aftermarket.
Most people know that they are buying a fake. The brand name companies are not losing any money because that person that is purposely buying a fake is never going to buy the legitimate product because of the price.
They say they are worried about funding terrorism. I seriously doubt there is a Chinese terrorist cell making fake Nikes. They are worried about losing profits. Some will be forced to buy the legitimate product, not purses, but that audi grill someone will. If you crack your grill, you need a new one. I mean I'd drive around with a fucked up grill for years, but a lot of people wouldn't, and car part prices are ridiculous for some items.
@@BrettonFerguson the terrorism stuff is most likely true. The only claim I was disputing was that knock offs don't really cut into profits that much, maybe a little.
@@ninrey19 I don't think they do either. Because like you said most people buying fake stuff aren't going to buy the real thing otherwise. Except maybe the car parts. And that knock off plastic audi grill will work just as good as a $600 plastic grill made by Audi.

I remember around 2012 going to Hong Kong for work and coworkers were offered counterfeit handbags. It was interesting how the people selling them tended to be open about them being counterfeit. Some of the counterfeits where made with better quality and better workmanship than the originals. It was an educational experience.
It's only counterfit because americans cant make a profit
@@troydogg2716 it’s counterfeit because someone takes the intellectual properties from a company by directly copying their products. Remember that a lot of these handbag companies are also owned by European countries and have nothing to do with Americans. Counterfeiting is a problem regardless of whether you are prejudice towards Americans.
"Some of the counterfeits where made with better quality and better workmanship than the originals." This is the dumbest thing I ever heard.Not because you made a statement without evidence but no amount of evidence could justify this stupidity.
I completely understand that, sometimes the design of the clothes/jewellery is very pretty but the quality isn’t and it has a high price tag so getting a bag made with better materials or jewellery made with different materials makes sense even if it’s counterfeit. Look at the Vivienne Westwood pearl necklace, it doesn’t even use real pearl and the charm is made out of brass and it costs well over £100 there’s a market out there for a counterfeit that uses silver or gold and real pearl and you don’t have to pay a ridiculous price for something made out of brass
@@alvaroga1n yeah. That’s a pretty good comparison.

I love the "protecting consumers" line when this is more big government taking consumers money to protect big corporations.
So taking the counterfeit auto parts and airbags off the market isn't protecting consumers?
@@dr.quackenbacker5247 depends when it is protecting the corporate bottom line at the expense of the consumer then no it is not protecting the consumer. If the foreign parts are just as good as the "official" foreign made parts then let the consumer buy them.
@@dr.quackenbacker5247 I guess there is a difference between counterfeit medicine and autoparts that might put your life at risk and counterfeit fashion objects like clothing and watches.
This made me so mad because it's a 100 percent a violation of the constitution, but big government doesn't care about human rights.
there's intellectual property at stake as well. logos, designs, etc. are protected by copyrights and patents and such. companies and individuals pay big bucks to have things patented, they're due this protection

I understand the officers have to do their job. But honestly, let’s not pretend the genuine luxury companies are ethical in their practices or profits either… they are likely no better than the counterfeit manufacturers. Not sure if the aim of the video is to have us sympathize with these companies….
You do realized what channel this is right, of course they want us to feel bad for the "poor" corporations 😉
They’re all made in the same factories anyways. Maybe not the watches but clothes and shoes are definitely ones that a defected and remade I wouldn’t consider anything out of china counterfeit since it’s made in the same factories
@@DenLim123 yall so stupid it not just big corporations and you can get a refund if you actually made a mistake
@@chinookh4713 No, when you hire a factory to make things for you, they will quote you a margin of error that you have to accept as part of the deal. For instance if I wish for USPCC to print me 10k decks of playing cards, I need to acknowledge that up to 500 could be defective in some way. So they will do their best to get me 10k good ones, but contractually they are only obligated to deliver 9.5k good ones. If I absolutely need 10k good ones, I gotta file my original order for 10.5k decks from them.
A lot of these high end luxury retailers are using unethical business practices too. Just because it says “made in Italy” doesn’t mean that they’re not using undocumented immigrant labor to make their products…
How can a Audi front bumper grill be counterfeit 😂
Material
Because the real one is marked up, the dealership will take a lot of money for the original, and the Audi owner probably wanted to save their money.
People who buy fakes are not the same as those who buy real. That company never lost a sale.
They may not be but counterfeiting hurts the second hand market which in turn hurts the environment. Most counterfeit items are poor quality (even more so than the original lol) and because the person that bought them knows they're fake garbage into the garbage they go after a few wears and they get torn up. While that can be seen as a larger part of the problem of crap quality cheap clothing filling up our landfills counterfeiting just adds to the problem.
Facts
Exactly.
Depends. Too much counterfeiting ruins the brand's image. You don't want to buy a handbag and pass by some kind of people wearing fakes every single day. You don't even want to see it on many people to begin with. That's the idea of luxury items. Let alone fake ones... When a brand starts looking "cheap", the target clientele loses interest in it.
Exactly. It's not "money lost" they weren't getting that anyways
I’ll be honest, you don’t need to burn them- if it’s clothing and footwear, you can give it to people in need
This is what I came to say…. We would rather protect the brand than give a family some sneakers that will be burned anyway
I agree with this. Except for products that could be dangerous to use, like cosmetics, those should be stripped off the label they imitate and sent to homeless shelters and charity programs.
Exactly, it’s not like the aren’t payed for
But brands would never allow this, as it would devalue the brand. They don't want poor people wearing their luxury items...Burberry, for example, prefers to incinerate thousands of original clothes than donate them to those in need.
nah shred them
10 years for counterfeiting is “low”? 💀 These people are out of their minds, who put them in charge?

@@thanhavictus Minus the fact most of these counterfeit brands tend to be run by criminal elements. Not even terrorist but just Criminal Elements. Better buy second hand if you can.
When you make the big bucks, you live the good life with perks, when your an average joe, you suck up and deal like the rest of us. I learned to stop questioning it long ago

Prada and Louis Vuitton make products in China then they are sent to Italy to be finished and the tag will be made in Italy but not the rest of the bag. My friend that worked at Prada in nyc told me that 😳

That officer sounds so proud of what he does
It's true, the same factory that makes the real products also makes the "fake" products. Well it's not necessarily fake, just not real. It's not officially manufactured under the brand's contract. When they're cutting thousands of feet of materials, they can sometimes save 10-20% which will be manufactured unofficially, and without a brand, though identical in every other specification. It will be sold in "factory outlets" for extra profit of the factory.
True, I also bought a chanel t-shirt like that from a factory outlet
They could also be selling factory seconds.
True. Remember the "i-run" computer monitors when 2.5K was still a new technology? It had the same LG panel (possibility of a few dead pixels was the deal, but mine had none) as an apple cinema display of the day and I bought one for $500 plus $150 or so shipping. The monitor still works. Just doesn't have a brushed aluminium frame nor speakers, but a plasticy cheapo frame. Don't care about the missing features :)
I've heard this theory thousands of times, but have never actually seen a single instance where it was proven to be true.
@@danielrazulay No, I don't. Who made these "i-run" monitors. There's more to a monitor than just the panel.

If they can afford the luxury name brand they'll buy it if they can't they'll buy the counterfeit because it's the same thing. People don't care. The only people who care are the ones who own the corporations and our tax dollars absolutely should not be being used for this
Well… I guess you ignored the whole terrorism and crime aspect… plus idk why people care about fake status. If you can’t afford it, you can’t. It’s as simple as that. If you found out how most fast fashion and counterfeits are made, you wouldn’t be able to sleep if you bought them. The whole problem is that the people don’t care.
@@vedantsingh_ that's very true. I really don't care I don't care if it's made by some little four-year-old in a sweat shop in Vietnam or if it's made by some 80 year old and the United States for minimum wage I'm going to buy it I'm going to wear it I don't care if it's real I don't care if it's fake I don't care how it got there. I will gladly buy two PlayStations for the price of one if they fell off the back of a truck
@@honestlynate7922 they acting like the real brands don’t use similar environments or tactics to their products. I’m sure a real reputable lv bag only cost 500 $ to make but they overprice it for 2k just for label n rely on consumer’s naivety to feel like “above” others. When in reality no bag should be in the thousands mark, but hey maybe I’m missing factors to why it should be.
@@leax7569 $500? more like $50
Bro that was my haul!
this is where my rep haul went i was confused why i didn’t received it
how stupid are you to get seized
😂
Can we talk about how it's kind of fucked up to completely waste material and incinerate them? Like. Let's fix a problem by pollution. Kek. Trying to make me feel bad for luxury brands 😭🤣
This is the last thing you should worry about when it comes to pollution. This is nothing compared to the total amount of legit trash that is thrown away everyday. I know you want to feel self righteous though so go ahead and keep making ignorant comments.
I understand your comment but think of it that those fake products are said to be dangerous due to it's high chemicals. It has said in the video that some of the products are made from urine and etc. As the saying goes, it's better to be safe than sorry.
@@shanasakai2238 and what u think originals are made from😂
And what do you propose? How would you dispose them? Throw them somewhere else where they can be retaken/redistributed?
@@unknownpasserby7405 give em to the poor and homeless! Apart from things that may have chemicals in them cosmetics perfumes etc. Those are perfectly usable things.
Capitalism at work. These people work for the brands. There’s literally no difference between brand name and super fakes They’re both mainly produced in China, India, with just the finishing touches in France, Italy. Which allows them to stamp it as made in said country.
True. Brands have their production units in china mostly. They are working for brands only and the fact that brands train them to identify fakes explains the same.
Lol India is a baby in manufacturing even Bangladesh has higher textile exports than us
Yes because it’s such a crime to protect brand integrity after someone worked their ass off to make it why it is today. Most production of these high end brands don’t happen in China. They’re mostly produced in Europe.
@@IpSyCo the demand for luxury good is so high these days, its not possible to have everything made in Europe. Prada Gucci n Louis is known for this. Have majority finish in China and have the last touch in France or Italy. if 10 percent is made in Italy, it can be label as italian made. The more store the luxury brand expand, harder it is to hand made everything.
@@kenfern2259 No, you have to have a certain percentage of the products overall value added be done in the country in order for it to be labeled made in said country. That majority of the work you think is done in China is just assembly and low end manufactured parts. Most of the value of these goods come from their “made in” country. At least that’s how it works here in the states.
haul got seized 😢
me watching my panda buy order 👁️👄👁️
fr 😂
So that's where my Waifu Pillow went. Leave Rem Alone, Customs
this is unnecessary , let there be a free market!!!! , let people buy what ever they want , am happy that my country isn't like this , sad for you mate.
Not your Waifu anymore... Probably the Customs officer Waifu now.
I’m just a Mexican stoner trying to make it out the hood by doing reaction videos & storytimes on my KZhead channel 😎
I Thought I Was The Only One!
@@sqlxe and help fund criminals?
my teacher once told us in class 👉"i bet if you(or we) take away every possession you(we) have that's from china, there'd be little to none left for us" 😂😂
This is true I remember I've watch a video about a woman who challenged herself to buy only products that are not from China. Guess what? She failed because most products are from China. I think this is one of the reasons why China is becoming more powerful than before, it might take the U.S. spot.
@@shanasakai2238 Not likely. Many billionaires in China continue to rise, yes, however many go completely bankrupt in a matter of seconds because of the government. Many companies refuse to pay their bribery money and just like that, gone. Just a few days ago did a millionaire company go bankrupt because they "broke a rule" lmao. Not anti-China here given that I’m Chinese, but because of the government China won’t surpass. Of course though, if China doesn’t eliminate its teammates then they can 100% surpass.
Most of the essential stuff is manufactured here. We might lose getting that brand new iPhone every year or certain electronics but that’s in the short term.
He done got my 6kg pandabuy haul 😭😭😭
Soooo what you're saying is, you're stealing from me just because i bought a "fake"
Oh yes those poor luxury business owners.... what ever will they do.
This protects our economy as high priced items have higher taxes.
@@worldchangingvideos6253 no companies like nike probably spend 100x as much to manufacture and ship from china then the amount we pay in sales tax
@@worldchangingvideos6253 These corporations dodge taxes all the time. You know what would help our economy? If these rich dickheads put their country before money and brought manufacturing home. But instead they outsource it half a world away and then are surprised that the Chinese don't give a damn about protecting their "branding."
You sound broke😂
I love counterfeit goods. The knockoffs are getting better than the originals.
They are great! This is just stupid they are only trying to protect companies pockets. just let people buy what they want!
Unless it's counterfeit medication/supplements or anything taken orally I love counterfeit goods
Honestly, same, especially when I'm only going to use a few times, like a purse, or sunglasses or even some shoes..
Ok all of u guys commenting you love counterfeit goods, just stop it. You don't actually love counterfeit goods, u just love their price. So if it doesn't matter to u whether it is original or counterfeit, then just buy some cheap company products whose price is low than counterfeit product of top class company. But u don't because u don't want people to know that u buy from some cheap company or how can u not afford certain things.
@@prajwalwarad3318 why are your feelings hurt? do you own one of these corporations? People can purchase whatever they please Have you maybe thought that the reason people buy counterfeit is cause they like the design but aren't gonna spend $1000 on some shoes
bros haul got seized, prayin for ma man✌
it was my haul, forgot to tip my agent 🥲
@@nascizz27 nahhh he did you dirty
do not SEIZE MY HAUL!!!
Literally no one ever made a counterfeit airbag, and this Audi Grille won't cause any traffic accidents.
The point is not really about causing traffic accidents, it's about tow here the money goes when you buy the Audi grille It could have been manufactured by some terrorist organisation By buying that fake Audi grille , You are directly funding that terrorist organisation
@@srihari2846 No terrorist is making Audi grilles in China. One big ass lie by the corporations. The counterfeit industry in China is almost mainstream with Industrial zones dedicated to the trade. If a terrorist works at a bakery to fund his terrorist activities would you blame the bakery?
@@srihari2846 i think you totally missed the point. It’s not the manufacturer in China who’s funding the terrorism but it’s some random freak who buys from them and sells counterfeit items to fund the terrorism. Blaming China for funding terrorism is like blaming Microsoft just because a person working there once now is a terrorist.
@@SakshamShrestha2 yes it’s all terrorism, lol ok pleb. if you believe these people breaking the bank of the ultra rich is terrorism your a meme.
@@SirPhillyLeong yes
Fun fact: Louis Vuitton actually burns their own product that they do not sell within that season. Their products are never on sale
