exam on fashion counterfeit

I became interested in finding out more about the purchase of fashion counterfeit goods when I was invited to visit a factory abroad where I could see counterfeiting in operation! I was just amazed at the upfront coolness of the invitation. whole factories in various countries are given up to churning out fake goods in accessories , trainers, apparel , media items , pharmacy products , auto car parts, detergents and cigarettes. One day the factory produces genuine articles for a supplier order and the next day it changes production to do an equally large but counterfeit production run of the same product. Often such factory operations have false walls which can reveal whole stockrooms of overrun goods.
Counterfeiting is such a big business that it is threatening the profits of the original design houses. This shadow economy, according to Tim Phillips the writer of knockoff: the deadly trade in counterfeit goods would be the world's biggest business if it were a named business. Counterfeiting is known to account for 7% of world trade and may be as high as 10%.
A high percentage of trade goods, including clothes and accessories are counterfeit. More alarming, is the knowledge that these goods include fake products that may be taken into or used on the body. This problem of fake goods is in everyone's backyard or doorstep.
Fake cosmetics and pharmaceuticals include somewhat alarmingly, fake Tami flu, cardiac heart pills, defective hip implant parts as well as fake guns and airplane replacement parts. Just imagine having no response to a faulty drug for a serious ailment, or a faulty car part that causes a lethal or even minor accident. This all puts counterfeiting in perspective as the criminal activity it really has become.
