About Services Products Customers Ikonic Europe Contact EU Warranty IT imports are on the increase. As one of the leading IT distributors, we’re making it our responsibility to help customers spot an import. Why? Because buying non-EU IT stock is against EU law for some manufacturers products. It also immediately invalidates the warranty and customers love the confidence that a warranty brings. EU Regulations Under EU law, intellectual property owners have the right to restrain the resale of their goods within Europe. These are called parallel imports which are done without OEM manufacturers’ consent form outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Breach EU law knowingly through direct importation, or unknowingly through purchasing from an EU-based intermediary, and the seller is liable for trademark infringement. It’s that serious. Check every box OEM manufacturers produce their goods throughout the world and then process and pack them ready for distribution. It’s this packaging that will tell you if you’re breaching EU law. To check, simply look at the bottom of the box and check for the circular Boxing Certificate. If it has a genuine manufacturers stamp and packaged in a country within the EU your item is within EU regulations and will have a valid warranty. This mainly applies to drives and servers, other products can have alternative stamps but beware of cheap non-eu / counterfeit imports.
