Footwear is the biggest problem, I am pretty sure they are scanning packages.

There is a certain footwear manufacturer that is working with customs specifically to stop their product being imported. I've imported them myself, and their not fa ke, I have taken them into a House Of Fraser and had them verified!!

Manufacturers just don't like people jumping their chain of command. If they don't want the risk of grey imports they shouldn't mass produce in China.

I use a storage facility to keep my goods and 2 weeks ago uk customs turned up with the police to search one of the units,Apparantly the people at the unit had been importing goods from the far east,they took van loads of stuff away and searched the houses of the people,Another thing i found out was they had been buying from sites like trade tang, ali express and paying with paypal so they have now had paypal account suspended,Seems customs are definatly cracking down at the moment.

I think the high street has been feeling the fact of people importing their own stuff. Prices seem to be way down than what they were last year. T shirts (big brand names) and jeans are all down by about 40%.

this is correct it does not have to be dodgy to get seized. remember levi taking tesco to court to stop them selling their jeans, at a super discount price. they won. as levi had sole rights to choose who sold their product.
