The trucks crashed imitation Nokia, Motorola and Apple laptop computers, cell phones, earphones and compact discs.
Pirated books and Gucci handbags were incinerated.
Changsha customs have confiscated more than 34,000 fake items worth 1.3 million yuan ($197,470) over the past two years, said Liu Zili, a customs official.
Some confiscated fake goods were donated to Red Cross societies and quake-devastated regions, in accordance with China's IPR protection regulations.
