Anti-Illicit Trade Resources

The Anti-Counterfeiting Group (ACG) is a not for profit trade association, recognised as a leading authority on the worldwide trade in fakes. ACG was founded in the UK in 1980 with just 18 members in the automotive industry, who discovered that they all had a common problem with counterfeit parts. We now represent nearly 200 organisations globally, operating in, or providing specialist advice to, most industry sectors where counterfeiting is an issue.

The ACG’s website, with a wealth of useful resources, can be found at the following link:
