Customs offices in seaports and on
airports are checking merchandise that is being
imported or exported or even if it is just in
transit to see whether it contains products that
infringe protected rights.
Their job is not
limited to inspections at border stations but
also includes inland customs offices and free
ports or by mobile control units.
On a
special occasion of an application showing the
right of a brand manufacturer, customs
authorities can
-stop suspicious
consignments,
-examine
them,
-take samples,
-destroy
counterfeits and supply information to the brand
manufacturer. |
