Trace counterfeit goods back to their source

Identify where counterfeit products originate by analyzing shipment data, supplier behavior, and trade routes—so enforcement actions target the source, not just the symptoms.

Stopping counterfeit goods requires visibility into where they are produced

Counterfeit investigations often focus on seizures or downstream distributors, but without insight into where counterfeit goods are actually produced, enforcement efforts fall short. These goods typically originate from a small set of factories or regions and move through predictable trade routes. ImportGenius helps investigators trace counterfeit shipments back to their origin using shipment-level data, revealing production locations, exporter behavior, and recurring source patterns.
