directly from the producer. but it's expensive. illegal vendors prefer to get free and substandard goods from. the over. there are cheaper and that's only natural because the raw materials they are made of mostly come from russian junk yards. they take it over the country for free. and bring back. the bodies. much as someone put in thirty small and midsize manufacturers are engaged in making children based on their products and the philatelic each other was dominated by goods from china the chinese producer seventy percent sold in much of a century these unevenly produced imported.

from any product quality depends on the materials used to make it. from specialized few and far between in russia this granulated plastic is absolutely harmless but it's pricey so-called second. nothing and that's exactly. where. previously fallen arias who is being filmed canisters that disposable tableware. all that material is sure to contain some harmful sop. whatever you like gasoline or even remnants of drugs a case in point is disposable syringe of was but it's no one knows what was inside a syringe. is harmful but it's cheap to make stuff from it and you have cheap toys . let's play. along with

a large batch of other products for children this toy was confiscated by the siberian operational customs house a businessman from the city of novosibirsk involved in a wide range of toys valued at over ten thousand u.s. dollars from china into russia as he crossed the border he provided an i.q. inventor about his cargo concealing a considerable amount of merchandise among the goods with toys for told list and then france the customs service brought the businessman up on charges of smuggling upon further investigation questions also arose about the quality of the goods he was smuggling an expert confirmed that the smuggled toys were not cheap fakes but also hazardous to the house of the children for whom they were intended. to give the toys weapons don't conform to standards. i mean they're more powerful than the lorillard rattles for babies fail to be that smell stuff and children's pianos don't meet regulations and sound like many toys have jagged edges all splinters and

unacceptable. to posses counterfeit goods off as legal the businessman tried a well known scheme a contract for a small batch of certified quality toys is signed with an official dealing directly with the produce. next to the bulk of the merchandise consisting of cheap fakes is purchased on the black market. usually the counterfeit drugs have found he didn't in a normal batch and in this case the russia health inspector it publishes details on its website to help people distinguish. the.

specialist. what's new in five hundred thousand international units of the federal suppose a trace absolutely different rafa's most likely fake even the external features a different. only the externals the shape of the packaging is totally different. finalize these and send the information.

would of the count of the drug must be sent to the pharmaceutical oversight division of the russian health inspectorate within twenty four hours. a whole batch is banned from sale if the authenticity of a single package is called into question. cheap counterfeit drugs or turned out by the thousands. to fake them homeless chemical ingredients a mixed with the intended pharmaceutical compounds. as a result five diluted tablets can be made instead of a single pill they usually contain just a fraction of what's needed to treat the ailment they're intended for. say what does it mean if the pharmaceutical conned. this time. the first drug and. the time is lost in the progress that's what.

this is the climax of a special operation. in some petersburg police officers posing as purchased thirty thousand dollars worth of a well known drug from a. well the illegal business owner was counting the money the officers managed to search his office and the shop. these were small time operators. the labels were absolutely indistinguishable from the original. badge numbers were neatly printed on boxes and packets and packaging machine worked at the touch of a button churning out a constant stream of. what was supposed to be a powerful anti flu drug they used sugar salt and even some artificial apple and lemon

flavoring. the merchandise was then sold under the same name as the original product. is the seal of the swiss company. they're a real pharmaceutical company but this is a fake. with the head of the crime the director of a st petersburg based pharmaceutical company at the legal company that sold regular drugs maybe the director wasn't satisfied with his legal profit going to make more money on counterfeit goods he set up a retail network in various russian cities where he had to fake drugs delivered the but then it got them. according to statistics the number of falsified pharmaceuticals in circulation has increased since two thousand and five think mentioned heart disease the gastrointestinal problems fake

antibiotics and anesthetics. in russia eighty seven batches of thirty seven different medicines as well as one hundred eighty seven sets of unfinished pharmaceutical substances were confiscated in just one year. what i have to say about it that it tends to be drunks in the middle price bracket that get paid to the most. and you have to understand that if cheaper drugs are involved they're usually the ones in the highest demand that sell on the large scale. this is one of a number of small is operated by moscow based online store. it held a stash of fake dietary supplements. this

one is an original packaging. and that one is a fake. a criminal gang was engaged in selling the counterfeit goods and it was a well organized operation. they mostly sold dietary supplements used to health and. they pleased to be on the internet. and prices that. these supplements were in high demand particularly in summer when people normally try to lose weight. years to live with them to the cost to miss address. this is the criminal group i did all takes place. hello the korean provided necessary papers for a wholesale batch. here's the certificate and an invoice just in case.

you are right someone's name in here and put the seal here. just in case someone asks you for your papers. these are empty boxes in case some get flattened holograms. there you go exactly one hundred boxes open if you want. we called another key. more expensive they say they are. trading. we have.

to be delivered to the porch of the police station and a career had no fear to bring dietary supplements he was sent for and found that the contents fell short of their original product. and counterfeit goods in russia. and an. culture is the same i understand not really an interest all the way most of the could be new fires in the market manner not discussions continue whether muslim women should be barred from appearing public with their faces veil is just.

a. few laughs i. love it.

ah. wealthy british style. that's not on. the. market finance scandal find out what's really happening to the global economy for a no holds barred look at the global financial headline is fueling to cause a report on our. challenges of ski was one of the largest markets in eastern europe. seventy hectares of shops in storage and it's narrow passages between stalls with cheap goods. up to a million people daily. traders didn't even pretend that their brands were

genuine. is it a fake dolce and gabbana of course yes where did you get it from just. from china is this bag the real thing it's almost the real thing one to mean almost is the real thing cost seven thousand six hundred. it was easy to arrange deliveries of fake clothes to any region of russia. and we'd like to open a store in nation enough courage and put it all chained up on a sign up what would it be realistic to sell fakes in such a store. of course in their own way no problem. this is how fake goods make their way into russia most of them get across the border and through customs checkpoints in the far east. of merchandise were delivered to moscow markets mostly. from the fake good

spread in smaller quantities through russia's regions usually the. packages by bus . trade inspectors and police often raids on churches to check the quality certificates and trade permits. everybody stay where you are. during one of the things they found six thousand containers with counterfeit goods worth two billion dollars. investigators never discovered the owner of the expensive car. in the summer of two thousand and nine. shutdown. decided to destroy the confiscated merchandise. government more than six million dollars to destroy good. but we're willing

to pay for it to do it in order to make sure that none of these goods will ever make it to the store. they can be harmful to our citizen. children. and even poison a child with. this cabinet at the institute of hygiene and children's health contains toys and even books which experts call silent killers they are poisonous and dangerous. is either the. only is the most common poisonous substance but there are some toys like this dish where the children did the radioactive. researches of the lab have no pity for the toys they treat them purely as objects for toxic mechanical and radiation tests special

attention is given to toys for infants russia has highest safety standards for protecting children than most other countries according to the institute's statistics fifteen percent of the toys they examine each year prove to be home for the share of counterfeit toys has not declined. will never be able to determine with certainty the quality of toys no matter how closely they examine them but some elementary measures of precaution to safeguard your child against many diseases. i mean i it because it's a coach there's something i'd like to say about toys for children on the three years old if you know you've got to remember that any soft toy is a very good medium for journeys they easily penetrate the soft fabric multiply and stay there for a long time. so that's why parents should always remember that any stuffed toy must

be regularly washed that's not just it must be washed cleaned i'm still really drawn. out of. this is the largest factory producing soap and detergent in eastern europe it's located near moscow and belongs to a foreign company. the original chemical formulas for soap and dishwashing liquid kept secret mixtures and liquids arrive at the factory ready for packing. around a hundred people perform quality control. every two hours stanford the microbiological the bowler tree choose which products they want to test all the goods are examined under strict controls. all the product has a specific sentence consistency all these qualities so you can easily understand what it is when you see it is the white. holograms and other distinctive attributes

of the packing are regularly changed but none of this completely saves this well known brand from rivals producing illegal counterfeit goods. was the reason number of tricks they may not use. sometimes trade is dilutes the liquid before selling it sometimes they imitate all products. but recently the number of such cases has been small. because our company uses only high quality packing materials and it is not always possible to find something similar about. police offices have long been planning a raid on this old brick building they decided against a forceful entry from the start and chose to carry out the raid quietly. a police officer catches a worker preparing

a chemical compound for counterfeit detergent red handed. the little shop producing ripoffs was just a few kilometers away from the legal manufacturer's factory. inspectors found tons of counterfeit merchandise ready to be shipped several crates with stickers and packing materials. and hundreds of sacks with the main ingredient. it's then mixed with glue and a special compound to give the mixture its fruity aroma simple shaving razors were used to mark manufacturing dates on the packages factory officials believe it's the stamp that helps distinguish originals from fakes. projects happen then attack during date stamped in especially so in principle it is possible to tell whether a product was manufactured by our company. i. think

have the manufacturing date stamped with a mixture of paint and vanish it's unlikely that a regular customer would be able to tell the difference. the twenty thousand empty plastic bottles and caps to be filled with counterfeit liquid raised many questions about how to combat fake products. matched factory standards. investigators failed to find out where the illegal factory had acquired its containers according to one theory they were manufactured at a legal factory and then were delivered to this warehouse shady channels company could not explain where the containers came from they just didn't want the media to mention fake detergent because this will significantly decrease sales of the original product. in just a few months the illegal producing counterfeit goods cost the original brand three hundred thousand dollars paradoxically many of the customers themselves seemed

unconcerned about having been sold a quality ripoff. it must read all over but this one has already been stable for ten minutes. detergent is very different from the real thing its quality is very low over it didn't bother the customers their faith in the brand caused them to buy the goods they thought that was the intended quality also they bought the detergent despite its unusually low price when people see it shipped prices they don't even to pay attention to quality. at the. ready when it did. the main factor which stimulates production. in the counterfeit goods is the consumer's desire to buy original products on the cheap but people can protect themselves by simply being careful when selecting toys buy no point cheap drugs and buying from interesting claims only from reputable retailers customers

need to take action himself with such a thriving flexible opponent nor enforcement officials face an uphill battle to stamp out the production and trade of counterfeit goods. every month we give you the future we help you understand how we'll get there and want to bring the best in science and technology from across russia and around the world join us for a technology update on r g. it
