There has been a sharp increase in counterfeiting and piracy activity since 1998. Customs seizures globally have increased 1000% in that time. The world governing body for sporting goods, the WFSGI (World Federation for the Sporting Goods Industry) is taking this issue very seriously. In conjunction with the World Customs Organisation and other international bodies the WFSGI are developing projects that are currently being undertaken to minimise the impact of this issue.
ASGA is affiliated with the WFSGI and will provide reports of these projects on both a global and local scale so that industry participants can be better informed of the activity that is taking place to fight this burgeoning problem for the sporting goods industry.
New reports and articles on issues related to counterfeiting and piracy will posted regularly on this page.
