Nike has filed suit against some of its customs brokers in the U.S. – B&H Customs Services, Hana Freight and Shine Shipping – alleging their use of fake documents and a stolen corporate identity to get four containers filled with counterfeit merchandise past customs. One of these, recently seized in the U.S., was transporting $977,414 worth of counterfeit Air Max 270, Nike Air Vapormax Flyknit, Nike Air Max 98, Air Max 270 Flyknit and Jordan 11 sneakers. Nike is accusing the brokers of several violations, among them trademark infringement, and is asking the court for an injunction against the defendants and for damages of at least $2 million per trademark and per type of good.
