HARRISBURG, Pa. — The U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency has reported the confiscation of over 20,000 fake vehicle inspection stickers from Pennsylvania that were sent from Israel to a Philadelphia address.

These counterfeit stickers were discovered in two separate packages that arrived on November 26 and December 9. Customs officers verified with Pennsylvania officials that the stickers were indeed unauthorized, according to the agency.

While the agency released a statement on Thursday, it did not disclose information about the sender, the intended recipient, or the specific purpose of these stickers. Additionally, there have been no arrests connected to this incident.

If genuine, the 22,000 stickers would have a combined value of approximately $1.4 million. The sale of fraudulent vehicle inspection stickers is illegal and continues to be a notable challenge for law enforcement, though it generally occurs on a smaller scale.

In Pennsylvania, annual inspections are mandatory for motor vehicles to ensure they adhere to essential mechanical, safety, and emissions regulations. Those caught using a counterfeit inspection sticker could face fines of up to $500 and potential jail time, according to the agency’s statement.
