[whohit]President Trump to hold Amazon responsible for sale of counterfeit items[/whohit]Bezos has been able to sidestep any liability for counterfeit goods. But the Trump Administration’s crackdown on counterfeit goods have backed the retail giant into a corner.
The Trump administration unveiled new rules to combat counterfeit and pirated goods Friday. The new policies, which were published by the Department of Homeland Security, will do what the courts have largely opted not to do: hold Amazon responsible for counterfeit goods.
The new Customs and Border Protection framework shifts the burden of responsibility to Amazon. Now warehouses and fulfillment centers, most notably Amazon, will be legally and financially liable. Jeff Bezos’ company will have to bear more of the costs of policing for counterfeits on its platform.
