Parallel Import in the Russian Federation: Risk Mitigation Measures
EDN: KKQVHI
Abstract
The study aims to develop measures to mitigate the risks associated with parallel imports in the context of the modern Russian economy. The article highlights key contradictions in the legislation regulating parallel imports and suggests possible amendments. It also proposes measures for regulating relations with rights holders and foreign importers under sanctions, improving customs control mechanisms and consumer protection, and coordinating interactions among EAEU countries in this regard. Additionally, the study examines ways to stimulate domestic production and enhance intellectual property regulation mechanisms in the Russian Federation. Based on the research findings, conclusions are drawn regarding the prospects for implementing the proposed measures.
