The rings arrived as six-ring sets and represented each of the Steelers six Super Bowl championships.
The parcels arrived between December 9 and December 23, 2020. CBP officers suspected the rings to be counterfeit and detained them. CBP import specialist confirmed that the rings violated NFL and Steelers intellectual property rights trademarks, and officers completed the seizures on the rings through Thursday.
If authentic, the Steelers Super Bowl rings would have had a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $90,000.
