According to Thai media news, on April 25, officials from Thailand's Consumer Protection and Related Crime Crackdown Department and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) personnel held a press conference together to explain a large-scale case of counterfeit and shoddy cosmetics-skin care products warehouse for Chinese capitalists recently cracked by Central Bureau of Investigation (CIB) in Samut Prakan.
It is understood that a total of 62 categories of goods were seized in this case, with a total of more than 31,922 pieces worth up to 20 million baht. During the search, it was found that all the products in the warehouse did not have registration numbers and Thai-language labels, and most of them were counterfeit products of internationally renowned brands. GANICA, A THAI WAREHOUSE MANAGER, SAID THAT THE WAREHOUSE OWNER WAS QIU CHAN LIN, A CHINESE MAN, AND ALL THE GOODS WERE IMPORTED FROM CHINA.
Once the merchandise arrives in Thailand, it will be shipped to the warehouse for storage to be packed and shipped to Thai customers who purchase through online channels. She further said that the Chinese owner has opened as many as 44 online stores for advertising and promotion, and has been shipping as many as 2,000-3,000 pieces per day for one year now, which is equivalent to an annual revenue of 100 million baht.
At present, the staff has sent the above-mentioned makeup-skin care products to the institution for testing. As for the above-mentioned Chinese boss, it was found that he had been out of Thailand for about 1 year, and the Thai police will coordinate with Interpol to apply for the issuance of a red notice to bring him back to Thailand for disposal in accordance with the law.
