What is Parallel Import?

The President of Russia signed a decree containing a list of goods that can now be imported into Russia in this way. This means - without permission of the right holder. That is, earlier, some manufacturer of cosmetics or some presumptive "Mercedes" could control (allow or prohibit) the import of their goods into Russia. Now they won't have that opportunity. Now any entrepreneur who has purchased their product can import it to Russia by purchasing it in Kazakhstan or in the United Arab Emirates, that is, in those countries that carry out friendly policy towards Russia. What is it for? In order to avoid a shortage of goods within the country.
