Xiamen Customs recently seized 21,648 fake 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil jerseys. About RMB 730,000 worth of copycat jerseys were confiscated.

It was the first copyright infringement case to occur in Xiamen since the General Administration of Customs launched a campaign fighting IP infringement related to the World Cup.

These jerseys were seized from the goods of a Xiamen commerce company at Xiamen Port Dongdu frontier inspection station. All of the fake jerseys had logos, such as "FIFA", on them.

Xiamen Customs contacted FIFA as soon as they seized these fake jerseys, and FIFA confirmed the infringement in their response. The case will undergo further processing and investigation.
