... FAG deep groove ball bearings 'FAG 6012.2ZR.C3' and INA angular contact ball bearings 'INA 30/8-2RS' originally from Schaeffler Technologies in Herzogenaurach. The counterfeits (pictured right) were exported from China by Yakang Bearing Supplies, a German trading company that ordered FAG and INA bearings from Yakang in good faith and sold them on. A border seizure and subsequent temporary injunction revealed the products to be counterfeits. The trading company agreed to the destruction of the counterfeits and apologized to Schaeffler.
