Will the trademark be infringed upon if the purchasing agent is not authorized?

Legal subjectivity:

The so-called "conflict between regional protection of intellectual property rights and trade liberalization" means that you want to purchase from abroad and rely on the price difference to earn some pocket money and smoke a pack of good cigarettes , but you need to find out whether the goods purchased on behalf of the agent have a trademark owner in the country, otherwise it may be suspected of infringing the brand's domestic trademark exclusive rights in that country. The law is objective:

Article 213 of the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China and the People's Republic of China, without the permission of the owner of the registered trademark, uses the same trademark as the registered trademark on the same kind of goods or services. If the circumstances are serious, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years and concurrently or solely with a fine; if the circumstances are particularly serious, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years and not more than 10 years and shall also be fined. Article 214 of the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China. Whoever knowingly sells goods that are counterfeit registered trademarks and obtains a relatively large amount of illegal income or has other serious circumstances shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years and shall also or solely be fined. If the amount of illegal gains is huge or there are other particularly serious circumstances, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years, and shall also be fined.
