Departure countries In 2013 China emerged again as the main departure country for counterfeit goods when analysing data in terms of number of cases, accounting for almost half of the total number of cases (411,158 cases; 6.31%), followed by Hong Kong, China (5,954 cases; 24.71%) and India (957 cases; 3.97%). This outcome is very similar to the previous year’s statistics, as Chart 3 demonstrates. However, India ranks first when it comes to the number of pieces of goods (2,203,272,337 pieces; 72.57%) as a result of large consignments of medicines, intercepted at import by countries in Africa and the Middle East in particular. India is followed by China (639,203,975 pieces; 21.05%) and the United Arab Emirates (68,550,167 pieces; 2.26%). Please see Table 4 for more information. Destination countries Table 4.

IPR These figures support the results listed in the analysis of the data on reporting countries as most often the reporting country is the country that intercepted the goods, i.e. the destination country (there are very few cases of transit and export detentions reported by Customs administrations, as shown in the “Customs Procedure” paragraph further below). As Chart 4 demonstrates, the United States is followed by Saudi Arabia (4,168 cases; 19.75%) and Italy (3,103 cases; 14.71%). Chart 5. Number of cases by Customs procedure 2012 2013 19,608 21,019 In terms of number of pieces, Angola and Democratic Republic of Congo rank first and second as destination countries (1,502,418,418 pieces; 49.97% and 1,115,343,366 pieces; 37.10% respectively), reinforcing the above mentioned outcome. Seizures by Customs procedure As Chart 5 demonstrates, in 2013, the largest part of seizures of counterfeit goods took place at import (87.27%; 21,019 cases), followed by transit, with a distant second position accounting for 8.66 per cent (2,087 cases).
