CUSTOMS SEIZURE

We also have significant experience in working with the Russian Customs Authorities in connection with the importation of goods. Needless to say, the marketing of counterfeit products causes considerable injury to law-abiding manufactures and traders, infringes the trademark owners' rights and also misleads consumers.

In order to prevent counterfeit products from entering the Russian market we can request seizure at customs by placing trademarks on the special watch list the State Customs Committee issues to each frontier point. However, as practitioners, we have recognized the critical importance of face-to-face discussions with officials in connection with the seizure of counterfeit goods to attain maximum efficiency. This is because the written word is often inadequate in resolving the complex issues at stake in such a delicate and complicated area.
