Members
shall, in conformity with the provisions set out below,
adopt procedures (13)
to enable a right holder, who has valid grounds for
suspecting that the importation of counterfeit trademark
or pirated copyright goods (14)
may take place, to lodge an application in writing with
competent authorities, administrative or judicial, for
the suspension by the customs authorities of the release
into free circulation of such goods. Members may enable
such an application to be made in respect of goods which
involve other infringements of intellectual property
rights, provided that the requirements of this Section
are met.
