Communication with Customs
1.Customs Symposium
IPR owners may apply through our company to participate in the annual Customs Symposiums as well as give lectures to the customs officers on the identification of genuine and fake products, so that the detention rate of fake products might be improved.
2.Courtesy visit to customs
Some customs usually welcome courtesy visit requests by single IPR owners. It is advisable to take such opportunity to give furthur explanation of identification methods of genuine and fake products to the customs officers, as it will leave a deep impression on the customs officers, especially when there are frequent customs detention cases.
