The nature of the counterfeit goods is becoming more various. Food and cosmetics are now concerned: in september 2006 Tunisian salads bearing a counterfeit trade mark were discovered in Marseille. Recently in Le Havre, for the first time customs found counterfeit soap: coming from China, 245 000 soaps (valued 300 000 euros) were seized.
