Among them, customs in Guangdong Province actually detained more than 18,000 batches of infringing import and export goods, totaling about 31 million pieces.

In addition, the infringing goods seized by customs recently are mostly daily consumer goods such as clothing, shoes and hats, leather goods, luggage, care products, and electronic products.

As the country tightens its protection of intellectual property rights, cross-border e-commerce, as a new form of Internet e-commerce, is bound to attract attention. Intellectual property protection has become a top priority for customs law enforcement inspections of cross-border e-commerce. This also warns cross-border sellers to pay attention to intellectual property issues when exporting goods, so that they can be safe and go further.
