More than 170,000 items were seized during 521 separate enforcement actions or shipments, valued at over $10 million MSRP. And the #FIFAWorldCup games are just beginning. A historical sports event means an unprecedented volume of counterfeit sports merchandise being produced by criminals, and seized by @CBP.
Seen here is an international trade analyst itemizing counterfeit merchandise from a recent seizure.
#CBPxFIFA2026 is protecting the fans, securing the game.

Our commitment to trade integrity is rock solid. 💎 @CBPTradeGov, supported by @CBP Laboratories & Scientific Services, tested an imported stone shipment and found high quartz—not dolomite as claimed. Result: accurate tariffs and fair competition under U.S. trade law. #FairTrade

@CBP Laboratories & Scientific Services stands ready to assist in detecting illegal transshipment. It’s not a shortcut—it’s a crime with real consequences. Stay compliant: go.dhs.gov/iG4 #TradeCompliance #ImportSafety

Illegal transshipment isn't a shortcut - it's a crime with real consequences.
When importers route their goods through another country to avoid paying higher tariffs or exploit a free trade agreement, they're exposing themselves to severe consequences, like inventory seizures, fines, and criminal charges.
Don't take the risk. Learn how to avoid illegal transshipment: go.dhs.gov/iG4
