UNION CITY, GA — US Customs and Border Protection officers seize two shipments of counterfeit watches from Hong Kong.

One was bound for Union City, Georgia.

Federal agents say if the watches seized in Louisville, Kentucky had been genuine, they would have been worth more than $6M.

But the agency’s trade experts determined the items bearing trademarks like Rolex, Cartier, and G-SHOCK were fakes.

They’ve been turned over to U.S. Department of Homeland Security for further investigation.
