Procedure (special aspects)
Although there is an Administrative surveillance procedure, once a counterfeit product is found, there is no simplified administrative procedure for the destruction of the goods.
Once there is a seizure of suspected counterfeits, a notification to the owner of rights must be sent. The holder then will have to confirm the measure at the border. At this moment, The Office ratifies the border measure. And immediately a complaint must be filed, which may be administrative, civil or criminal.
The main process will determine responsibilities and the destination of the products.
