parallel import A product bought in one state and imported into another by the purchaser, often to take advantage of price differences between states; such products are also known as grey market goods. Parallel importation usually takes place outside supplier-authorized official distribution networks. Within the EU measures taken to prevent parallel imports in the Single Market will infringe Article 101 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (see export bans). While it is permitted to restrict an exclusive distributor from soliciting sales outside his exclusive area, absolute territorial protection may not be given, either by contract terms or by conduct or oral arrangements. |
