Hong Kong customs seize $20m in fake goods ahead of the World Cup

HONG KONG: Just hours before the World Cup kicked off, Hong Kong authorities announced they seized 230,000 suspected counterfeit items worth an estimated $20 million, including jerseys tied to the tournament. The seizure included about 30,000 jerseys, some so finely made that they’re hard to distinguish from authentic team shirts, Wayne Chung, senior inspector at Hong Kong ‘s customs department, said Thursday. Most were copies of authentic player jerseys that are generally more expensive than fan-edition versions because they’re better designed and made of higher-quality materials, he said.
