Intelligence-led operations to disrupt counterfeit, smuggled, and illicit goods — protecting brand revenue, consumer safety, and market integrity through investigation, enforcement support, and supply-chain protection.
Counterfeit, smuggled, and non-duty-paid goods cost legitimate brands billions in lost revenue, expose consumers to unsafe products, and erode government tax bases. Mohafiz Secure runs a dedicated Anti-Illicit Trade practice that helps brand owners, manufacturers, and regulators identify illicit supply chains, gather court-admissible evidence, and support coordinated enforcement action across Pakistan.
Our practice is built on years of operational experience supporting major international brand protection programmes — including ongoing engagements in the FMCG and tobacco sectors — combining investigative depth with on-ground field reach in every major commercial centre.
What We Do
- Market intelligence & monitoring — Continuous scanning of wholesale markets, retail outlets, e-commerce platforms, and informal trade channels to detect counterfeit, smuggled, refilled, or non-tax-paid product.
- Test purchases & evidence collection — Discreet sample procurement with full chain-of-custody documentation, geo-tagged location data, and photographic evidence to support legal action.
- Source tracing & supply-chain mapping — Investigative work to trace illicit product back from point of sale to distributor, importer, manufacturer, or border crossing — exposing the network, not just the symptom.
- Enforcement support — Coordination with FBR, Customs, FIA, IPO-Pakistan, and provincial police; preparation of complaint files; logistical and intelligence support to raids, seizures, and post-raid follow-through.
- Digital & e-commerce protection — Identification and takedown of counterfeit listings on marketplaces and social-commerce platforms, along with infringer profiling.
- Supply-chain integrity audits — Reviews of distributor and channel-partner networks to detect leakage, parallel imports, diversion, and grey-market activity.
- Litigation support & expert testimony — Investigator statements, structured evidence packages, and case-file preparation for civil and criminal proceedings.
- Industry & regulatory engagement — Briefing papers, trend reports, and advocacy support for industry associations and policy stakeholders working on illicit-trade reform.
