This stuff about seizures due to copyright violations has some truths and untruths to it. First of all, if you are coming back from China rather than Japan, they are going to be more intent on checking for fakes. (Based on a true story) Let's say you come back with a full Louis Vuitton luggage set from your three month trip to Beijing. First of all, you don't even have enough luggage to fill all these cases. Second, there is no tags on the insides of the bags and there are obvious imperfections. These bags are basically screaming fake. You know what immigration said, "Pick two you want to keep, the other three stay with us." Most people buying fake junk in China are smart enough to ship it back rather than take it through the airport, but like my friend you (maybe) are allowed to keep some in most cases. Lets say you show up with 9 Rolexes, 3 Gucci watches, and 1 or 2 Tag Heuer's. Now you are not only having them confiscated, but probably facing fines as well. If you've got one fake Rolex, it would probably be no big deal and not noticeable if say you are wearing it.
