Expanded Information Sharing on Suspected Counterfeits in Trade

New rules will make it easier for customs and other entities to share information about suspected counterfeit goods. This aims to better protect intellectual property rights, potentially affecting the availability of genuine products and reducing the influx of fake goods, thereby increasing consumer safety.
Key points
Customs will be able to share more information about suspected counterfeits, including packaging and shipping containers.
This information can come from online platforms, express consignment operators, and other entities involved in selling or importing goods.
More parties, including those with an interest in the merchandise, can receive this information to improve the fight against counterfeiting.
