CBP Seizes Shipment Of 75 Counterfeit Super Bowl Rings From China

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) said officers in Texas recently seized a shipment of 75 counterfeit Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl championship rings. CBP officers assigned to Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport on Oct. 30 encountered an express consignment parcel from Guangzhou, China, manifested as “Hair Pins Metal.” Instead, the package contained what appeared to be the Chiefs Super Bowl rings. Officers noted the “poor craftsmanship” of the rings, however, and detained the rings to verify authenticity with the National Football League, which is the trademark holder. The NFL confirmed the rings were fake.
