The legal basis for French customs to seize counterfeit goods is the Longuet Law (LOI?LONGUET), which prohibits the possession of counterfeit goods without legitimate reasons. For consumers, if they can prove that they are carrying counterfeit goods without knowing it or should not know it, as a bona fide purchaser, they do not need to bear legal responsibility.

It should be noted that according to French law, infringement crimes apply not only to manufacturing and selling activities, but also to the illegal possession of counterfeit products knowingly. Accordingly, criminal intent can be determined, and the burden of proof is also on the prosecution.

One should always remember that counterfeiting, even when it comes to luxury goods, is not a victimless crime. The explanation for the price difference between the real thing and the counterfeit is simple: Counterfeiters pay their employees almost nothing, do not provide any legally required protections and benefits, spend nothing on innovation, creation or design, and spend nothing on advertising No tax paid either.
