Dear Valued Customers,

Re: VBF Anti-Imitation

Due to the strict anti-imitation policy by the Government of China,many VBF imitators were caught in China Customs. To our great surprise, the importers are mostly well known Bearing Companies in the world and the exporters are mainly our close friend factories. For this reason, we frequently requested China Customs to let the goods go without punishments, which made China Customs very angry with us with heavy penalty on us for such attitude from us.

Nowadays, as per China Customs' instructions, we have paid China Customs enough funds with long term guarantee as advance Guarantee Deposits to enable the Customs to confiscate the goods without our immediate confirmations for their actions. We have also advised the Customs that we have never authorized any company to export directly VBF bearings to the international markets. Any direct exports other than from TOP MACHINERY & EQUIPMENT (ZHENZHOU) LTD who is the legitimate owner of VBF Brand in China, is imitation or parallel exports.

Due to above conditions prevailing now, we are helpless to intervene in the official matters and help you out of the difficulty. Any such intervention by us in the official matters will be deemed as illegal by the Authority and will backfire on us forever. Therefore, we request you to kindly manage by yourself when the imitated VBF goods are caught in the Port as we have no right to request the Customs to release the goods.
