Parallel imports refer to products sold in a country or region, and there is no sales agent designated by the original manufacturer. Parallel imports are not fakes. The origin of the word "parallel imports" is because in the early days, in order to avoid tariffs and other reasons, it was generally regarded as a general term for products sold through abnormal channels.
The difference between parallel imports and licensed goods is that licensed goods are recognized by manufacturers, obtained by merchants, or directly sold by branches of manufacturers in designated areas; Parallel imports are products sold directly in a certain area, and there is no formal sales agent. So parallel imports are not illegal products. However, because there is no official agent for parallel imports, after-sales service is often not guaranteed, but the price is cheap, which is also the biggest reason for the popularity of parallel imports.
