The Retail Price Of Korean Imports Is Much Higher Than The Import Price, And The Price Difference Of Swimwear Is 17 Times.

According to Korean customs, South Korea imports

The retail price is much higher than the import price, and the difference between them is about 200%-800%.

The reporter learned that: the South Korean customs investigated 15 kinds of imported products to study the price difference between their retail prices and import prices. They include swimsuits, perfume, leather wallets, sunglasses, beer and watches, including leather handbags, leather belts, sleeping bags, face powder, women's jeans, hair driers, digital cameras, chocolate and dog snacks.

The survey found that the price gap was huge, and importing retailers made huge profits.

According to Korea

From May to July, the price difference of imported female swimsuit was the largest among the 15 products.

From January to September this year, the total number of female swimsuit imports increased by 8.3% over the same period, and the import price ranged from US $1 to US $336.

The market survey found that some swimwear imports were only 3100 won, and the retail price was up to 55000 won, with a price difference of 17 times.

Since 2013, the Korean customs has begun to provide various price differential reports.

Compare the price difference between imported and domestic products to protect consumers' rights and interests.

It is reported that from January to September this year, the import price of perfume increased by 14%, and the import price of perfume from 50 bottles per bottle ranged from 209 won to 50985 won. The average selling price of the perfume was 7.98 times that of its imported price.

At the same time, the import price of parallel imports is higher than that of ordinary imported products, but the market price is lower than that of ordinary imported products.

The reason for this phenomenon is that the marketing cost and other costs of ordinary imported products are higher than those of parallel imports, so the market price of ordinary imported products is higher.

The reporter understands that PARALLEL IMPORTS refers to the fact that domestic trademark holders sell their products to foreign distributors or license their trademarks to foreign production enterprises. These foreign distributors or production enterprises re import the same goods that they produce with the trademark owner in the country to domestic practice.

The so-called parallel imports are commonly referred to as parallel imports, which are goods imported without formal agents, and the goods that are imported through formal agents are commonly known as licensed goods.

Parallel imports are not equivalent to counterfeit goods. They are also original goods, but they are not directly or indirectly authorized by the head office.

Parallel prices are generally cheaper than that of licensed goods. This may be due to the difference in prices of goods in different countries, or the cost of parallel goods is lower than that of licensed goods.

However, if the goods are still not sold in the place of sale, the price of parallel imports may be higher than that of origin.
