Customs seize fake designer clothes worth €300,000

CUSTOM officers have claimed another success in their crackdown on counterfeit goods following the seizure of €300,000 worth of fake designer clothes.

It is the 59th seizure of counterfeit goods by customs so far this year, reflecting the level of trade in the illicit, but lucrative, industry.

The latest haul by customs offices was made on February 25 after a container from Indonesia was searched by staff in Dublin Port.
