2.HOW MANY COUNTERFEIT WATCHES AND CLOCKS ARE FOUND?

Many of counterfeit watches and clocks are produced abroad, and a part of them are illegally imported into Japan.

In 2010, the number of seizures by Customs officials upon import into Japan has decreased to 1,724 which is 7% smaller than that in 2009, and the amount of seizures is equivalent to 2.9billion Yen worth of genuine products, according to the Ministry of Finance.
