Did you mean:. Can I get a refund. Customs seized goods. Hi all, I recently purchased some rogain hair treatment product from a seller from the US.
This is not the first time I have purchased this and each time I have not had a problem. Until today. My package had been opened and the goods have been seized for being dangerous by Australian Customs. I'm not sure why this has been overlooked before but if it is against the rules to import this to Aus than fair enough.
I have no doubt that he sent the goods but I obviously haven't been able to receive them. I don't want to leave him short but if he is the sender does that make him responsible.

Glad I asked, I wouldn't want to cause problems for the seller if it's not his issue.
That's a real damn shame and a costly mistake. Message 5 of A Notice of Objection is an additional tool available to trade mark owners, to protect their marks against piracy. Australian Customs is a keen participant in efforts to prevent the importation of counterfeit products, especially if counterfeit products can result in health risks in the pharmaceuticals, foods, personal care and cleaning products , or safety risks such as vehicle parts, toys, machinery and tools.
The Australian Government, hence Customs, recognises the damage to the Australian economy by the growth in counterfeit products imported into the country. For this reason the Notice of Objection process is simple, the timeframes for action are reasonable, and anecdotally, the seizure of infringing goods frequently leads to the infringer forfeiting the goods, which is a cost effective outcome.

Consider an Australian Customs notice Date: 22 June, By: Joanne Martin. Take home message If you are the owner of registered trade marks, and at risk of counterfeit products being imported into Australia, a Notice of Objection filed with Australian Customs provides an extra level of protection.
Customs will seize infringing goods to temporarily stop the importation and distribution of the goods into the marketplace. The Objector and Infringer are notified of the seizure. The Infringer can agree to forfeit the goods, which often occurs in cases of clear infringement, otherwise the Objector has the opportunity to commence infringement proceedings. Your trade mark attorney can assist in putting this straightforward and cost effective process in place with Australian Customs.
What is needed to lodge a Notice of Objection Objector details The details required for completing the Notice of Objection form are: Full name of the company lodging the Notice.
