CBP Trained on Mobile Platform to Help Detect Counterfeits
True Pedigree, a software provider specializing in preventing counterfeits and gray market diversions, completed an initial training session with CBP on the AGMA One Device. The company describes AGMA One Device as "an integrated mobile platform donated by the Alliance for Gray Market and Counterfeit Abatement (AGMA) that consolidates members’ brand-verification tools into a single device." The platform will help CBP officers with authenticating the authenticity of AGMA members' products entering the U.S. The training was held at the John F. Kennedy International Airport. The tool, offered free of charge to the government, could be rolled out at additional ports early next year.
