Queen B Perfumes

We have all wondered, either while browsing a well-known website or walking into a prominent clothing store, why our favourite fragrance or branded item is being sold at a fraction of the price. We then notice a disclaimer in bold writing that the item is a “parallel import” and think that this might just be a well worded term for a fake product. I can assure you this is not the case. Parallel imported goods (or grey goods) are original products of established brands which are purchased by importers from a foreign country, possibly to be sold in South Africa. Such goods may be imported without a letter of authority/permission of the brand-holder or owner of any intellectual property in respect of the goods.
