Their point is that there's a possibility that Swiss customs fines them and confiscates the "counterfeit."

Maybe, the problem is that customs are not opening every package and as long as manufacturer won't name the copy as "screwdriver for patented BMW screw" but something more like screwdriver SN-2249 then how customs would know what that screwdriver is for?

Customs could just ask you for a declaration, where if you lied and they found out later, you'd suffer a heavier penalty. I dont know if they do that right now (not familiar with it).

What's the reality of that happening though? I feel like they have bigger fish to fry than going after people for buying one screwdriver bit.
