It's reasonable to think that One Plus could be found to be infringing on Apple's trademarks or design patents, but that would have to be decided in court. It's rather strange that customs could decide that some product clearly labelled with one trademark (and an established one at that) are counterfeits of another.

Apparently not. A lot of stuff doesn't need to be decided in court when you're in an airport - it's a legal grey area (or so I've heard).

Border protection can pretty much do whatever they want in the name of national security and get away with it.
