China Customs has seized your items - what is a short and
effective remedy?
When your goods are seized by China Customs despite having
registration rights in jurisdictions outside of mainland China,
there is a high risk that your goods will be confiscated. There is
a good chance that your authorised suppliers/distributors will also
be punished.
The seizure is most likely attributed to another party
registering the same or a similar mark in mainland China.
The long-term solution is, of course to obtain your own trade
mark registration in mainland China. However, this can be a
challenging journey.
A non-determination decision is functional as an effective
short-term solution under the circumstances, which means it is
worth obtaining such a decision.
