Shanghai Customs Seize 8K Fake Masks from Uganda

On march 12, Shanghai customs staff noticed a declaration of 20, 000 3M N95 masks imported from Uganda. After the inspection, the customs staff found that there were only 8000 masks in this batch. In addition, the masks' packaging box were already damaged and had mold. Furthermore, they also found problems such as forged production date.

8000 fake masks seized by the customs were placed in the supervision and storage area of Shanghai Pudong International Airport Customs.

Some of the outer packaging boxes of masks were damaged, and there are some mildew spots and stains on them. 

Customs declaration form

Customs officer Huang Ji said, according to the model, it's an industrial mask, but the industrial mask usually doesn't have a valve. So a valve has been added to the fake product, and its printing has been pasted off, which is quite fake. Through comparison, it can be seen that this product is suspected of counterfeiting.

Fake and genuine products side by side

This batch of masks have been confirmed as fake products by the obligee 3M company. Shanghai Customs has also filed an investigation on this case of fake masks, and the case is under further processing.
