The Cambodian Counter Counterfeit Committee yesterday said that most of the fake products it seized were produced within the country and then passed off as imports from France or Japan. Lieutenant General Meach Sophana, president of the committee, made the remark during a ceremony yesterday that saw authorities destroy a total of 110 tonnes of fake products in Dangkor district’s Choeung Ek commune.

 

Lt Gen Sophana said many of the counterfeit goods destroyed yesterday were produced in Cambodia, then shipped to neighbouring countries only to be repackaged with a Made in Japan or Made in France seals and shipped back to Cambodia. “They put names of famous products like Shiseido, along with Made in Japan seals, but those products were made in Cambodia,” Lt Gen Sophana said. “They do it for profit. They don’t care about people’s health.”

 

Lt Gen Sophana stressed that even with crackdowns by the authorities, there were still people willing to take the risk of producing counterfeit goods. “The people in charge of the business like doing it because they can make a lot of profit. They don’t consider this to be a serious crime,” he said. “The police don’t have the means to seriously filter whether products are real or fake.”
