The Romanian Customs Authority has announced a significant seizure of counterfeit goods, including sweets, clothing, and toys, worth over 1.5 million euros.
The seizure was made by customs inspectors from the South Constanța and Constanţa Border Customs Offices, who discovered the goods in three containers arriving from China.
The seized items include over four tonnes of sweets, 50,000 items of clothing, and 7,000 toys, suspected to be fake. The goods belong to commercial companies with headquarters in Bucharest and Chisinau.
