>They're real apple parts from the real factory. They are genuine. Thats the whole point. Repeatedly he has said that removing the logos is better for him but that the logos are just on the parts and he requests they be removed from what he buys because duh, they are real parts!

So if I was able to convince the contract manufacturer of LV bags to sell me "real" (but unauthorized) LV bags, I should be able to import them into the US and not have CBP seize them? I don't think trademark law has a "but if it's identical to the real thing" exception.
