Here are some real incidents, some of which have been resolved by Brand Authenticity

Original goods without a license.
An important company of an Asian country bought a lot of products from
an authorized manufacturer. That lot had no license and according to
the law those products were fake. They were confiscated after a routine check by
a cross-checking with the owner of the trademark.
The check was followed by a criminal report and negative
publicity for the buyer.
They should had have to use Brand Authenticity in order to avoid any problem. Brand
Authenticity would have made a document control and a cross-checking
before the payment and detain of the customs, and the problem would have come out when
a solution and a regularization of the unfaithful supplier were possible.

Original and perfect. But not all.
A big department stores in Russia was in the final stage of negotiations for more than two million
euros of goods with an authorized retailer.
The client assigned Brand Authenticity for a quality control, after which
we discovered that together the original products there was a 30% of cleverly forged goods
which were NOT original.
The value of the fraud was around 400,000 euros. But it was not the only damage: the client
would have risked the total confiscation, and so he would have jeopardized the entire lot of
2,000,000 euros, with proportional fines.
Thanks to Brand Authenticity our client could cancel the contract and receive
the advance paid back.
All his following purchases, which have been verified by Brand Authenticity previously,
were free from problems.

Buying on the Internet is too convenient
An entrepreneur who was starting a new shop found designer goods
on the Internet at a very cheap price. Suspecting the little congruence between
price, quality and originality, the entrepreneur assigned Brand Authenticity to verify the goods.
Brand Authenticity found out that the goods were completely false and did not
let entrepreneur pay the consequences of a fraud from 100,000 euros.

How to clear through the customs without betraying the commercial secrets of the supplier.
An American customer makes a big order of goods which have been stopped at customs
in the United States because they were not authorized for sale in the U.S.
Brand Authenticity verifies the documentation of the supplier covered by industrial and commercial secrecy
and provides the necessary documentation to the customs to
release the goods.
The American customer can receive his goods without revealing the industrial
and commercial secrecy and provides the necessary documentation to the customs to release the goods.
The American customer can receive his goods without revealing the industrial and commercial secrets of the supplier (prices, materials, sub-contractors, contracts with the holders
of trademarks).
If the client company had assigned Brand Authenticity, probably
the unexpectedly stop at customs would also be avoided.

Fake goods? Brand Authenticity cancels the contract
A non-European customer has some doubts about the originality and conformity of the goods. Brand Authenticity
checks the goods before they leave the warehouse of the
supplier. After those checks, the goods appear to be fake.
Brand Authenticity gets the annulment of the contract and a refund of the amount paid by the international customer.
