The following is excerpted from a 20 February 2012 press release by the World Customs Organization.
The World Customs Organization (WCO) and the US National Intellectual Property Rights Coordination Center (US IPR Center) announced the seizure of tens of thousands of counterfeit and pirated goods at international mail facilities and express courier depots in the course of a global two-month operation that began in November 2011.
Forty-three countries participating in Operation Global Hoax II shared information and intelligence using CENcomm, the WCO’s secure communication tool, with the aim of stemming the growing flow of illicit counterfeit and pirated products being delivered to consumers via the post or by express courier services.
