All I can say is be very carefull, I am a trader that deals in factory overuns and I don't mean the RL, Lacoste, A&F etc but of high street british brands like George, Next, M&S, Top Man etc. All my goods are imported here with either labels cut or crossed with a black marker for brand protection purposes. These are then wholesaled to my clients.
One day 2 years ago at 8.45am in morning, my office got raided on a warrant by Trading Standards(5 people) plus two female police officers. At that point I was on the M1 motorway just left my house and one of my staff informed me what has happened. So I made it back to the office within 30 mins and immediately was arrested and taken to the local nick for questioning. Spent 2 hours in a cell and then got questioned for no more than 30 mins and released on unconditional bail. During the 2 hours in the nick, they seized all my stock, 2 laptops, a desktop pc, paperwork, files, the lot.
Ultimately, with help of my big customers and the major factories that all goods were purchased and imported legally it created a big inconvenience to me and my business.
So if your dealing in branded goods, PLEASE PLEASE, make sure you are certain about authenticity and ensure you have evidence to back it up cos you never know when these guys will turn up at your door. It will take one complaint from a customer to kick off these things and all helll break loose.
