Last year, the experts of Nizhniy Tagil Customs carried out eleven pro bono examinations of supposedly counterfeited goods. In fact, all of the inspected products did turn out to be fakes.

All in all, 750 items were declared to be counterfeited, most of which were sportswear articles bearing Adidas and Nike logos.

Since the beginning of 2010, Nizhniy Tagil Customs officers have confiscated 430 items, mostly clothes and footwear bearing the logos of Lacoste, Adidas, Umbro, and Nike. Their examination indicated that all of them were pirated items.
