Минпромторг исключил бренды компьютерной электроники из перечня паралельного импорта, разбираем аналоги+влияние на рынок

В начале мая Минпромторг решил убрать из параллельного импорта целую "пачку" брендов компьютерной электроники: Intel, Samsung, Kingston, Acer, Asus, HP и другие знакомые названия.

Формально это не полный запрет на ввоз, но для рынка разница значительная: отсутствие легальных массовых поставок, серый импорт и скачок стоимости.Самое интересное началось дальше.
