The counterfeiters responsible for the bogus Tao Tei beverages didn't try too hard to make the product look genuine, but consumers were fooled nevertheless.
The fakes could be easily identified from the packaging, said Mr Wong. Counterfeiters wrongly labelled the place of origin on the bottle as China. The product is made in Taiwan.
The fakes also identified Tao Ti as the distributor. The distributor is Telford International.
The genuine product has a circular red logo bearing the name of Telford International Company. The counterfeiters forgot the logo entirely.
Customs officers seized more than 66,700 bogus bottles of Tao Ti green tea and 26,300 bottles of Tao Ti mandarin lemon drink from five wholesale outlets during the 12-hour operation.
Despite the differences, Mr Wong said some customers had been fooled by the fakes.
