Customs Officials Seize $1.4 Million in Counterfeit Vehicle Inspection Stickers

22,000 fake Pennsylvania inspection stickers shipped from Israel to Philadelphia were intercepted in two separate shipments.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection seized 22,000 counterfeit Pennsylvania vehicle inspection stickers valued at $1.4 million if authentic.
The fake stickers were discovered in two shipments arriving on November 26 and December 9, with Pennsylvania authorities confirming their counterfeit status.
The stickers were shipped from Israel to an address in Philadelphia, though officials have not disclosed the sender, recipient, or intended use.
Pennsylvania law requires annual vehicle inspections for safety, mechanical, and emissions compliance; using fake stickers can result in fines up to $500 and possible jail time.
No arrests have been made, but the agency has shared information with other investigative bodies for potential further action.
