asciwhite Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 I read in the news today that the Norwegian customs are allowed to hold back counterfeit products and notify the companies (Rolex. Omega and so on) What the hell!!! Is this something we should worry about? After the 26 this month they had a meeting where they went trough the new customs rules. Do you think our reps will be seized? I have 6 watches on the way at the moment this could be real bad if the customs have shaped up, and they are stoked to start searching our packages Usually they let all kinds of stuff sail straight through. I personally am getting a bit anxious You can get fined in Norway Kan stoppes i tollen Tollvesenet har nå blitt pålagt av namsretten å avdekke og holde tilbake varer som er i strid med immaterialrettigheter, altså piratkopier. Med immaterialrettigheter mens opphavsrett, rett til varemerke, mønster, patenter, planteforedlerrett eller rett til kretsmøstre for integrerte kretser, ifølge Tollvesenet. Tolloven kapittel 15 gir Tollvesenet mulighet på eget iniativ eller på vegne av rettighetshaver, å holde tilbake varer som mistenkes for å være piratkopier.

Agrippa Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 Can't see this having much of an impact, if any, right now. Like NORing says it'll require extra resources and customs is pretty well stretched to the limit as it is. The only danger I see is if customs should also be permitted to charge us a fee for the pleasure of having our watches confiscated, just as they already charge us a fee for calculating how much VAT we should pay. Basically - as long as there's no profit in it for them, nothing's likely to change. If they can make money off us, then it's time to start worrying.

How many of us may be laywers, customs, representatives of the Swiss watch makers and so on. I don't think it is in anyones interest to disclose ways of shipping items to various countries.
