Interesting but I'm not sure whether I am operating this website properly.
I put a few names into the Canada database for example but each time the answer was 0. I guess that is because the FTC only operates the system FOR BUSINESSES RESIDING IN THE US.
Considering the worldwide diversification of manufacturing facilities (in other words get it made where the local wage is appallingly low) I can't
see this being of much use.
What goes on in the rag trade is extremely complicated and many of the
high fashion brand names actually have their products made in the Far East.
At the same time as the legimate outsourcing factory is operating in a particular foreign country (eg China) others are busy in the same country producing
fake products. It is big business - a very well run operation by a gang of Algerians in London has recently been broken up and anonymous warehouses found stacked to the roof with clothing and accessories bearing upmarket brand labels which we all know well and sell at high prices.
