HONG KONG, Dec. 14 (Xinhua) -- The Hong Kong Customs has conducted a joint operation with the Chinese mainland and Macao customs to combat cross-boundary counterfeiting activities and seized about 18,000 items of suspected counterfeit goods worth an estimated 2.3 million HK dollars.

The joint operation was held between Nov. 23 and Dec. 13. The three customs administrations stepped up inspection of goods across the three places and destined for abroad.

The suspected counterfeit goods seized by Hong Kong Customs included backpacks, mobile phones and accessories, leather products, clothes and footwear.
