<h1>Illegal Chinese toys, fake cosmetics, and unbranded shoes worth Rs 6.5 crore seized for violating import and quality rules</h1> Authorities seized 160 metric tonnes of illegally imported Chinese toys, counterfeit cosmetics, and unbranded shoes valued at over Rs 6.5 crore from multiple ports. The goods were concealed in containers and falsely declared as innocuous items to evade detection. The toys lacked mandatory BIS certification, violating the Foreign Trade Policy and Toys (Quality Control) Order, 2020. Counterfeit cosmetics were imported without proper licensing and breached Intellectual Property Rights enforcement rules. The shoes also failed to meet BIS certification requirements under the Footwear Quality Control Order, 2024. Such non-compliant goods are subject to destruction or return at the importer's expense.
