Hello,
I am looking to sell grey market goods (ones that are not counterfeit, but not meant to be sold outside their selling country) and I am wondering about this arrangement. Let's take Brown and Foreman. Perhaps I found a good deal in Karachi, and want to export to Germany, and I had a supplier in one and a seller on the other side. Withstanding it getting seized at customs, would I as a US citizen be held liable in US territories for any IP issues abroad? Or would I be liable to Brown Foreman SA (European branch) if there is any IP issues? I am just setting up the deal. At no time will I actually hold any inventory.
