Customs officials intercept $638,000 worth of counterfeit goods at O'Hare
CHICAGO (CBS) -- U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers discovered more than half a million dollars of fake goods in a shipment at O'Hare International Airport earlier this week.
On Sunday, inside a shipment labeled as "fashion sunglasses," officers found 36 pairs of fake designer sunglasses falsely labeled as Luis Vuitton, Versace, Chanel, and other designer brands; 25 pairs of socks bearing counterfeit Gucci, Hermes, Louis Vuitton, and Dior trademarks; and 22 counterfeit luxury watches bearing trademarks of Franck Muller, Patek Phillipe, Adidas, and Rolex.
If the products were real, they'd have been worth $638,000.
The shipment was headed from Thailand to a home in Bedford, Indiana, about 80 miles south of Indianapolis.
