In addition, the inspectors found 3,540 hearing aid units that imitated models of the Celebrat and Yison brands, as well as the entry of 660 counterfeit Apple Watch Series 7 watches, valued at customs at more than 5 million pesos.

According to Roberto Fernández, Director of Valparaíso Customs, these seizures are the product of the work of our customs’ Risk Analysis Unit, which tells us in which shipments there are possibilities of detecting counterfeits or contraband.

“The call again to consumers is to prefer legal trade and not get carried away by product offers that are well below the average value. There are fakes that imitate the originals with a great level of detail, but after all they are imitations and therefore it is not possible to prove their quality and they end up being a deception for those who acquire them, “said Fernández.

Although of course, even if they are not PS5 or Xbox Series X, in any case the number of seized units is striking, which have a customs valuation for this shipment that exceeds $28 million pesos.
