U.S. Customs and Border Protection Office of Field Operations officers at the Portal port of entry seized counterfeit video games Monday at the border that would have been worth $181,714 had they been genuine.

According to information provided by the Border Patrol, the counterfeit games were in a rail container that the officers inspected.

Enforcing trade laws remains a high priority for U.S. Customs and Border Protection,” said James Rector, Portal Port Director. “Officers work every day to protect the United States from threats at our borders by enforcing a wide range of laws, including those governing trade.”

Stopping the flow of illicit goods is a priority trade issue for CBP. The importation of counterfeit merchandise can damage the U.S. economy and threaten the health and safety of the American people.
