Anti-Counterfeit Support

Many times, companies importing into the United States run into counterfeit equipment.  The ASCDI/NATD’s goal is to eliminate counterfeit goods from the information technology marketplace.   Counterfeit goods are causing havoc with the safe and sound conduct of public and private commerce throughout the world with the potential to cause great damage and harm to life and property.  Accordingly, the ASCDI/NATD has adopted an Anti-Counterfeit Policy reflecting the dedication of all ASCDI/NATD Members to abide by the law and to maintain the highest level of integrity and responsibility toward their customers, the information technology industry and the public at large.

ASCDI/NATD Members have pledged to honor and abide by the Anti-Counterfeit Policy in order to eliminate or mitigate the impact of counterfeit information technology goods and to develop best practices and strategies aimed at identifying, inspecting, testing and properly disposing of counterfeit goods and to report encounters with counterfeit goods to law enforcement.
