Canon Publishes Massive Counterfeit Toner Crackdown Spanning 11 Countries from 2013 to 2026.

Canon has gone public with one of the printer industry’s most extensive anti-counterfeit enforcement records, publishing detailed seizure reports from 11 Asian markets—India, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Nepal, Indonesia, Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Myanmar, and Pakistan—covering enforcement actions from 2013 through 2026. According to Canon’s anti-counterfeit program, authorities across the region have conducted hundreds of raids targeting counterfeit toner cartridges, ink cartridges, packaging materials, holograms, labels, camera batteries, chargers, and other fake Canon-branded products, resulting in the seizure of millions of counterfeit goods and manufacturing materials. The reports reveal that counterfeiters frequently operated sophisticated networks producing not only fake toner and ink cartridges but also counterfeit packaging and authentication labels designed to mimic genuine Canon products. Canon’s newly published seizure database includes recent 2026 enforcement actions in India and Vietnam, demonstrating that counterfeit consumables remain a significant challenge throughout Asia.
