By the end of February 2014, French custom officials in the Northern port city of Le Havre, had confiscated 2.4 million boxes that had been marked with a “Chinese Tea” label. But rather than containing the delicious hot drink, the boxes actually had counterfeit medication inside. The bust marks the biggest of its kind in European history.
Inside the boxes the police found up to 10 tons of fake medicines, which were meant to be four well-known brands of pills, including Viagra. Although the officials have announced that the drugs do not contain the active ingredients meant to be found in the medicine and could actually be detrimental to your health.

a former student now working in a sales company asked me for some advice about selling his company's products in Europe. i pointed out to him the necessity of the customer having the correct import licence. He then asked me about my home country. I told him that his company's products were all illegal in my home country. His next question was if it was possible to sell on the black market.
