Pakistan customs: Pakistan Customs' Directorate General of Intellectual Property Rights Enforcement has achieved another significant milestone in protecting intellectual property rights and strengthening border enforcement during the last fiscal year.

According to Radio Pakistan, the Directorate General's annual performance statistics revealed a total of 201 Intellectual Property Rights forfeiture and seizure cases were registered during FY 2025-26. This marks a 24 percent increase compared to the 162 cases recorded in the preceding financial year, highlighting an escalation in enforcement actions.

The seized and forfeited goods, with an estimated value of 7.7 billion rupees, included a wide range of counterfeit products. These products encompassed luxury goods, textiles, automobile parts, cosmetics, footwear, consumer durables, and other trademark-infringing merchandise.

These enforcement actions underscore Pakistan Customs' commitment to protecting consumers, safeguarding legitimate businesses, and curbing illicit trade through effective border controls.
