Four companies and four individuals were convicted and fined a total of $601,900 in September 2013 for selling visiting Asian tourists a range of imported alpaca goods as “Made in New Zealand”, and making claims that duvets were 100% alpaca or merino wool when they were not. The parties appealed the decision in April 2014 and the appeal was dismissed in August 2014.
