U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents seized more than a quarter of a million counterfeit DVDs worth more than $7 million at the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles, federal authorities said Monday.
The operation was carried out on Jan. 7, when Customs and Border officials working at the Long Beach/Los Angeles port complex seized a shipment from South Korea.
The shipment included movies and music DVDs designed for import into Los Angeles County with counterfeit "DVD," "Dolby" and "DTS" trademarks, CPB officials said.
Last year, federal authorities seized more than $260 million worth of counterfeit items nationwide with media items among the top ten commodities seized and accounting for four percent of the entire value of goods seized by federal agents.
