Counterfeit, IP-Infringing & Seized Goods Destruction
Secure, documented destruction of counterfeit, IP-infringing and seized import merchandise. Goods move under chain of custody to a bonded facility and are destroyed so nothing re-enters the market.
When this applies
Brand owners, carriers and importers often end up holding goods that can’t legally be sold: counterfeit or IP-infringing merchandise, goods abandoned to avoid a seizure process, or cargo the importer has agreed to destroy instead of contesting. In these cases, you need proof that every unit was destroyed and none were diverted. Where CBP or another agency destroys forfeited property through its own contractors, we can still support the brand owner or importer with documentation and witnessing on request.

FAQ
Do you handle counterfeit and IP-infringing goods?
Yes. We destroy branded goods fully so nothing can be resold.
Can the brand owner witness destruction?
Yes, in person or by live video, on request.
Is anything recycled?
Where allowed, materials are recycled after destruction. Otherwise they go to approved disposal.
Do you handle goods CBP has already forfeited?
CBP usually handles forfeited property through its own contractors. We focus on goods that a carrier, importer or brand owner controls and needs destroyed, and can support brand owners with documentation in forfeiture cases.
