It was found that these wireless earbuds were not legit after consulting with an import specialist from CBP’s Center of Excellence and Expertise. These ‘AirPods’ were later found to be in violation of the CBP trademark and copyright codes. Value of These Fake AirPods Totaled $7.16 Million The three shipments each contained 12,000 fake AirPods, totaling 36,000 units and a value of $7.16 million. Each shipment had a declared value of $5,280, but since these were intended to be sold at Apple’s MSRP, the value would skyrocket in the millions. The shipments were expected to be delivered to an address in Dayton, KY and what is interesting is how manufacturers keep getting away with this.
