Senae Seizes Counterfeit Ecuador Jerseys in Customs Control
Servicio Nacional de Aduana del Ecuador (Senae) said counterfeit Ecuador national-team shirts were detected during a control on a parcel truck attempting to bring merchandise into the country.
The agency framed the seizure as part of its work against contraband and falsified products, saying counterfeit commerce affects national industry, legal businesses and economic activity outside the law.
