Seller Beware
The Middle East marketplace, as you would imagine operates under its own political, cultural, economic and legal framework.
Safety measures, such as patents, copyright, trade-marks and even contractual agreements are often impossible to process let alone enforce.
Infringements are the norm as policing practices are virtually non-existent.
Commonly, unscrupulous traders will either order small test MOQ’s in order to acquire Master Beta Programming and then import copy or illicit goods, or import illicit or grey goods for re-sale alongside the legitimate goods purchased, whose legitimate sales volumes will be severely reduced.
The Supply and/or Distribution of Counterfeit Goods and goods exported in breach of licensed agreements, commonly known as “Grey” goods is:
-
UNLAWFUL
-
ILLEGAL
-
ILLICIT
-
UNJUST
These abhorrent practices cause immeasurable damage, resulting in:
-
Reduced Sales and Revenues
-
Reduced Product and Programming life-span
-
Fragmentation of the Market
-
Reduced “consumer’ confidence
-
Restriction on overall Company growth and performance.

However it is fraught with danger as too often Product Suppliers will attempt to either supply non-original goods in place of originals or supply other vendors copies and counterfeits for other market/medias or areas.
