bearing in mind that most of tuk com centre sell copy iphones etc and that most of the market traders are selling copy t-shirts , football shirts etc. my guess is that the cops dont bother them much.

though is it illegal to open a shop selling copy brand handbags, shoes and the likes ? being a farang might draw some attention i imagine. i was just looking online at chinese whole salers and it gave me an idea.

have any of you guys any expirience on sourcing items from china / india and selling in thailand ?

your thoughts.

thankyou

You better speak to the BIB.....they know all about it.

It will cost you.....but think of the profits to be made.

is selling copy/fake products in thailand illegal ?

you can bet your sweet butt it is!

Of course it's illegal. But then again, so is bribing police officers.

The so-called copies at Tuk-Com are sold as such and have a small indication that they are not the real thing.

eg Samsung label is spelled differently and Nokias come in a box labelled with the manufacturer's name, the idea being that the copies are not being sold off as o-rigi-nals. Whether this passes muster re intellectual property rights may be dubious, but the show goes on.

Of course it's illegal. But then again, so is bribing police officers.

And, also, so is prostitution and BitCoins.

It's also against forum rules to discuss illegal activities.
