WHAT IS COUNTERFEITING?
• Counterfeiting is the passing off of imitation products as authentic brand-name ones
• Counterfeit Tandy Leather products are typically of poor quality and lack the details that make each Tandy leather product high-quality
• Counterfeiting has been linked to organized crime, child labor, and terrorism. It is estimated that counterfeiting costs the United States economy 250 to 500 billion dollars a year.
