Russian Customs Seizes Illegal Electronic Cigarettes and Phone Accessories
Customs in Yekaterinburg stopped the import of electronic cigarettes and phone accessories due to suspected trademark infringement.

Customs officials in Yekaterinburg have intercepted a large shipment of electronic cigarettes and phone accessories. The news department of the Ural Customs Administration told reporters that the owners of these products are suspected of illegally using trademarks belonging to others.


Russian customs officials have seized 2,300 electronic cigarettes and 630 iPhone accessories that closely resemble Apple products. The companies responsible for these items are being asked to confirm the products' authenticity. The issue of imposing administrative responsibility on the product owners is currently being addressed.


During the first half of 2022, officials from the Kholizyovsky Customs have prevented the illegal export of goods worth 125 million rubles and stopped 138 attempts to export such goods.
