· the difference between gray and black market
|
Black market products—such as those that are counterfeit—are illegal by the laws of most countries. "Gray market is typically not illegal, but it certainly violates both written and unwritten agreements and is a very unsavory way of doing business," says Brian Melonakos. "Black market typically involves transactions outside of the official economy (either not paying taxes or dealing with illegal goods or services), whereas gray market is more about diversion or counterfeiting," notes Krisa Drost. "But in practical terms, both often involve a violation of the law and present the buyer with the risks of purchasing products from an unknown supply chain."[1] |
