If the CPB has suddenly become the savior of Apple’s trademark virtue, I suggest they slide on over to Amazon.com and search for “fully wireless earbuds.” Not only will they find several sub-$50 AirPod knock-offs that make the seized OnePlus easily pass the sniff test, they’ll find several AirPod Pro knock-offs as well that are knocker-knock-offs than the OnePlus units. All of these are sitting somewhere in Amazon fulfillment centers, warehouses, shipping containers, etc., with import control traceable documents that’ll lead the CBP to easy fodder for their next seizure reveal party. Low hanging fruit ripe for picking.
CBP vs Amazon? The loser won't be the CBP. Amazon is simply too big to be taken down like this.
OTOH, Amazon simply don't care about trademarks and the rest especially product safety. Where there is a buck to be made, they are in there making it for their dear leader, Bezos.
I'm no fan of Amazon.
Amazon doesn’t even care about ABSOLUTELY FAKE products being sold as scams on their “marketplace”, like the mythical “FireWire to USB Adapter”. Try to use those and you’ll either find it’s useless (best case scenario), or you’ll find it has literally destroyed your device or computer/connector chipset. Go ahead and submit a review to warn people and you’ll see it deleted. Try to submit a notification to Amazon and you’ll see nothing at all done about it.
Also: Those ear buds don’t look like Apple’s. Since when is CBP in charge of determining when a product is too similar to a trademarked product? They’re supposed to carry out court orders, not act like a judge.
Their response just sounds like more of the current administration’s gaslighting.
Where were these guys when knockoff iPhones came out? Knockoff iPads? Knockoff Macbooks? Knockoffs with shameless names like MateBook Pro, MiPhone and Oppo Watch.
Hope Huawei, Samsung and other iKnockoff manufacturers are next!
They claimed they were counterfeit Apple products.
They clearly aren't. Not in packaging or content.
Yep, never admitting an obvious mistake isn’t a good look. They’re making a big deal out of something that should have just been an “oops, my bad.” This should have been a “no big deal” situation with a one-hour Twitter half-life.

Heck, this one even puts an Apple logo in their ad...

Cue the "they look nothing like AirPods" crowd.
