There was a raid in Manchester in 2004 and it got £1.4 million of FAKE clothes!!

As for the Tiffany stuff they are onto them now and are starting to take action, hopefully the rest will follow suit!!

..nice to find somewhere discussing this problem honestly, the latest euphemism after "replica" being " mirror", and the claims for "complete" paper work..mostly it's true on US sites, i wonder how stupid they think European Customs are..

..i do wonder however if i can legally sell genuine certified copies/replicas of my own products...

...nice to know, but shouldn't we be looking at why these copies/replicas/mirrors are so popular, given the risk involved, and we're talking serious risk here, in France it would involve destruction of the load and being blacked by the Banque de France*, loss of TVA number**, not to mention the court cases, fines, etc

..* no cheque book or credit card account with any french bank

..** no way you can run a business without it, we all know what the VAT-people are like

..oh and btw, can i have my avatar please ?..i feel naked without it, which should be enough of a thought to give anyone nightmares..
