Parallel Import?

Hi Guys,

Planning to do some parallel import from other countries to resell (where I can get some cheap products without compromising on quality). I know there is restriction on books but is there any restriction on any other products or is there any other restriction? or what is the current law?

can you please help or direct me to the right direction?

Thanks

Dave

Edit: I am planning to import products where no warranty is involved.

  • Are you planning to do this as a business or just for your own use? AFAIK there are no restrictions on the latter, but you may be refused warranty or after-sales service by the "official distributors" if they don't like the parallel import.

    You could always drop ship from overseas like many grey importers do, that way the customer is doing the importing, but you'll have to make the warranty conditions clear or they may get pissed off when it goes pear shaped. They'll probably be pissed off enough anyway.

    Edit: Perhaps you should ask the manufacturer if they have given exclusive distribution rights to a merchant here. If not, I don't see why you cannot be a distributor too.

  • Planning for business/resell and I'll take care of the warranty and returns. That is the reason I am NOT looking for electronics or phones. I am looking for products don't require warranty or if they do I should be able to take care of them
