The ultimate sufferer, as you put it. Is the brand Name company owner and the consumer!!
These "exporters" as you call them are selling ILLEGAL products and deserve to be put out of business. Unfortunately there are still way too many buyers who think they are getting brand name products cheaply and then get ripped off or else have their goods seized.
Rough numbers for 2007 (1st half) for the EU and the USA, are that Fakes from China are totalling over 4 BILLION dollars so far (no idea what exchange rate they used).
Numbers for India/ Pakistan are up near the billion dollar mark also.
