The Act provides that, upon the seizure of counterfeit goods, Customs authorities promptly notify the owner and/or distributor of the seized goods and the owner of the infringed intellectual property rights. If no objection is made against the seizure, the counterfeit goods will be destroyed, with the owner of the IP rights bearing the minimal costs of the customs proceedings and destruction of the goods. If an objection is made by the owner of the seized goods, the owner of the IP rights has five days to commence a criminal court proceeding. Fines may also be levied in connection with such counterfeit goods.
