ANTI- COUNTERFEITING MEASURES
Ten steps a contract manufacturer can take
Know where your components are coming from and who is selling them to you.
Verify your shipment either through a source inspection or a surprise personal on-site vendor check. Review their quality management system.
Examine paperwork to review lots and date codes. Inquire if more than one is supplied. If product is subject to being (pulled) beware of great values.
Look for the name and address of the company producing the goods, which should be on the box. If there's no address, be suspicious, because counterfeiters tend not to be traceable.
Check the packaging quality. Most counterfeiters often use cheap packaging.
Choose products that are sold through reputable distributors and verify what measures they have taken to insure a quality product is being delivered!
Send out random received product for testing when time allows.
Remember “if it quacks like a duck it probably is a duck”.
Review your buyers with the lowest product price variance as values are often achieved by sacrificing quality.
Avoid buying from China as their laws do not prosecute counterfeiters and 40% of the $250,000,000,000.00 yes billion counterfeit products are from China. Ask your suppliers to sign a letter stating they do not procure products directly from China. Ask your suppliers to review their suppliers.
