CBP Seizes Carpets Bearing False Country of Origin Markings
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announced that it recently seized a large number of carpets exported from Egypt to Savannah, Georgia that contained false markings of "Crafted with pride in USA" or no country of origin markings at all. CBP discovered the carpets in five container shipments that held a total of 25,349 carpets. The carpets have a total value of $360,544. According to CBP, the importer falsely marked or failed to mark the carpets with the country of origin to mislead potential consumers to think that the carpets were made in the USA.
