CNN)US customs officers have seized a container filled with more than $30 million worth of fake designer bags and clothing at a Los Angeles port ahead of the holiday season, US Customs and Border Protection officials said.

CBP officers found bags, shirts and pants bearing counterfeit logos including Gucci and Louis Vuitton at the Los Angeles Seaport on November 9, the CPB said in a statement released December 2.

The container of 13,586 items had been shipped from China and would have had a combined estimated recommended retail price of $30,437,775, it said.

Customs officers seize counterfeit jewelry that if genuine would have been worth $5.2 million

The CBP said that counterfeit goods had historically been sold in underground outlets and on illegitimate websites.

"The rise of e-commerce offers a haven for criminals who are now able to hide behind seemingly legitimate listings on well-known websites. The sale of counterfeit commodities multiplies the illegal profits of smugglers and traffickers who reinvest the proceeds from such sales into further criminal enterprises," it said in its statement.

The agency's Director of Field Operations in Los Angeles, Carlos C. Martel, said that "substantial law enforcement resources" were deployed to keep fake goods out of US supply chains.

No wonder so many ppl are carrying branded handbag nowaday. Rotfl
Even a genuine branded bag makes of cloth can sell $4k. The cost price I think only $200.

I would recommend only buying branded jewellery.
Easy to keep and maintain.
No need to worry about space, humility and can pass down to next generation.

But people buy to use and show off. Not to keep in the safe, under lock and key
