E-Commerce cites like Amazon cooperate with Chinese law enforcement to remove millions of counterfeiters.

Amazon said it helped protect customers from fake goods by working with law enforcement to seize over 240,000 counterfeits in China. Amazon’s Counterfeit Crimes Unit (CCU) tipped off agencies, which it said nabbed the imitation luxury, sports, and automotive brands.

Authorities detained the main suspects, and “any infringing listings connected to these cases have been eliminated,” Amazon said in Wednesday’s announcement, which provided additional details including the following:

“Upon searching the facilities, law enforcement seized more than 130,000 counterfeit car accessories and fake brand labels that infringed on many brands’ intellectual property including BMW, Porsche, and General Motors; nearly 80,000 counterfeit luxury products; and more than 30,000 pieces of counterfeit clothing and fake brand labels that infringed on Hugo Boss, Puma and Under Armour’s intellectual property among others. This latest effort adds to the more than 3 million counterfeit products Amazon identified, seized, and appropriately disposed of last year, which included counterfeits sent to Amazon’s fulfillment centers in an unsuccessful attempt to sell to Amazon customers.

“Amazon has also cooperated with local PSBs (Public Security Bureaus) in China on operations involving bad actors that illegally purchased government-issued personal identities and business licenses in an attempt to register fraudulent Amazon seller accounts. As a result, 84 individuals were detained. Last year, Amazon stopped more than 2.5 million attempts by bad actors around the world to create new selling accounts, preventing them from listing a single product for sale.”
