    Amazon isn't the one importing counterfeit items in.

      No, they are "only" storing and delivering them.

        Storing, delivering them, taking payment for them, taking returns of them, and in many cases representing to customers that they are purchasing them from Amazon.

  So you never did anything illegal in your life? Sounds more like you want to scare people from ordering rather than speaking the truth.

    I was just pointing out what OP suggested is illegal. Not sure why you need to question my personal choices in life and make up some malicious intent for doing that.

  Realistically though, CBP isn't going to come after you if you're buying a few hundred bucks of apparel for personal use.

    You can find yourself on a CBP list if you import counterfeit goods. https://www.racked.com/2018/1/8/16849298/amazon-counterfeits-global-entry-customs https://www.racked.com/2018/1/8/16849298/amazon-counterfeits...

      Funny how there's a list for natural persons, but not (large) corporations.

    There are well known open air markets in downtown Manhattan where everyone goes for counterfeit goods. If that place stays open, I really doubt getting one jersey with freehongkong written on it is going to set off their alarm bells.
