onzenuub 309 Posted November 6, 2009 Site of Dutch customs still says this: Counterfeit products It is forbidden to bring and import counterfeit products into the Netherlands. Customs will confiscate these products and you will have to pay a penalty. Branded products are counterfeit to benefit from success of this branded product (intellectual property fraud). The following products are often subject to counterfeiting: •shoes •clothing •bags •expensive watches •illegally copied CD's and DVD’s •perfume Please note! If traders abroad offer you what is known as branded products for extremely low prices, you may assume in nearly all cases that you are dealing with an illicit trade or counterfeit items. Exception It is forbidden to bring in and import counterfeit products. However you are allowed to bring in personally a very small quantity of counterfeit goods intended for personal use. The table below lists types of counterfeit products and quantities allowed to be brought in (according to the directives of the Public Prosecutions Service) If Customs finds more goods per defined category in your baggage than the quantity listed in the table below, Customs will confiscate all goods of the defined category. You will also have to pay a penalty.

Member X 91 Posted November 6, 2009 Good to see that the Netherlands are decent about travellers who have picked up some dodgy stuff while away Interesting thing about the endangered species though... Makes me wonder exactly what customs would do were they to realise that some of the straps being posted around are made from elephant... (which I still think is quite wrong! but I guess they die at some point and there's a lot of hide going spare...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
