I didn't really know they where fake how the guy told me they are real headphones
it is only £200 for 10pcs i would say just destroy it to the custom..

course the guy was going to say they were real to get a sale, hes not going to say "they're SONY look alikes" and then expect you to still buy them

£20 a piece sounds about right for genuine items. Surprised that Customs got involved, bearing in mind Hong Kong is a Freeport which means it is treated with no import duties on imports/exports.

China is rampant with fakes - if you talk to factory bosses, they will ask you what brand and safety stamps you want printing on the boxes of your stuff, regardless of how real that is. I have seen fake RCD devices which are actually just a loop of wire inside (wouldn't even switch off!) and utterly utterly dangerous - but carried a major brand name with all the safety marks for the UK and EU. I have seen a Chinese chemical processing plant faking eggs - EGGS!!!

Hong Kong has loooong been used as a port for mainland Chinese stuff.

It is safe to assume any goods you buy from China will be fake, if you want the real deal, go to the company involved directly.

You can try bribing customs but expect a heavy sentence for it lol
