When you buy imported mass-produced goods in China and they come from a really popular distributor located in a developed coastal city (eg. Shanghai) with huge, platform-audited sales volume and the goods already cost 10x local units, the chance of counterfeit goods is generally very low.

The most recent supply scam I have personally had to deal with was the substitution for sale of alternate polymers as more expensive, engineering grade polymers.
