Problem with relatively straightforward items like capacitors is that the world and its dog can copy, albeit illegal, and then keep swapping business ownership addum finitum to keep the legal bloodhounds at bay. To be effective you have to find the factory and see if you can close it down in a matter of days. Thats a nightmare by itself in some Far East countries let alone wondering how many other factories are dotted around faking these. Only solution is to sway away from the component manufacturer and identify the end product Western Democratic importers and for a crippling import tax to be added. That can only happen quickly where CPX can show that the component is a fake which would require some feature in the capacitor which is quickly evident via an independent laboratory.
