Be aware - Counterfeit goods

Article

Each year millions of tourists are falling for cheap copies of labels. The assumed bargain often turns out to be a cruel boomerang. Apart from the danger that many of these products contain health threatening ingredients, there is also the risk of violating the law.

Everyone who purchases these kind of products, consciously or unconsciously, can face a fine or arrest of up to 6 months in the UK.

Further information, also with regard to possible offences against the import of forfeit products to Germany can be found here:
