Since the Regulations were promulgated, the Customs has seized over a hundred of shipments infringing the exclusive rights of Olympic symbols at border, involving various types of goods such as apparel and headgear, sports utility, light industry products and textile. The Customs’ contribution to the building of a sound legal environment for the 2008 Olympic Games wins high evaluation from the International Olympic Committee and BOCOG.
The 29th Olympic Games held by Beijing in 2008 bears important significance to raise the comprehensive national power and demonstrate to the world the achievements in opening reforms and modern construction of China. Seriously recognizing that the number of passengers and goods flow into or out of China will greatly increase during the period of the Games and thus inevitably accompanied by increase of counterfeit or pirated goods, China Customs will spare no effort in protecting intellectual property rights to ensure that the 29th Beijing Olympic Games would be a clean and successful Olympics event.
