You may bring counterfeit goods back from your trip for personal use. You are not allowed to sell them.
What are counterfeit goods?
Counterfeit goods are products that copy a brand or design without the permission of the brand owner. Examples include counterfeit clothing, bags, toys, electronics, and perfume from well-known brands. Fake Pokémon cards and a fake Rolex watch are also examples.
Bringing counterfeit goods with you
You may only bring counterfeit goods back from your trip for yourself or your family, or to give as gifts. You are not allowed to sell or trade them.
Moreover, you must bring the goods into the Netherlands yourself. You are not allowed to have them sent to the Netherlands by post or courier. Customs may seize any counterfeit goods you order online.
