A lot of people, and contraband, cross the US border. In late November, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers and import specialists assigned to the Los Angeles/Long Beach Seaport captured and confiscated $18 million in fake Gibson guitars. The bust was the largest counterfeit musical instrument seizure on record, with more than $3,000 knockoffs in total.
The mis-branded guitars arrived in shipping containers from Asia.
