Working to Stop Counterfeit Products
Counterfeiting is difficult to stop because it’s complex and widespread. In fact, counterfeit products plague nearly every industry in the world. Counterfeiting’s dramatic increase results from the growing dependence on e-commerce, where customers rely on online images and descriptions to make product choices.
The ATA’s crackdown relies on ATA members to be vigilant and provide evidence of counterfeiting to ATA staff. The Board directed that ATA membership be used to identify legitimate manufacturers of archery and bowhunting products. The ATA is also working with the U.S. Department of Commerce and U.S. Trade and Development Agency to identify counterfeiters and fake products to stop illegal imports.
