The following is excerpted from a 24 October 2011 news release by the WCO.
Forty-three WCO Member Customs administrations joined in an operational effort to fight imports of substandard and counterfeit electrical products in “Operation Short Circuit” which began in July and concluded in September 2011.
Initiated by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the Operation was facilitated by the WCO CENcomm platform; a unique tool for Customs administrations to rapidly share information and intelligence spontaneously with their partners across the globe.
