This law is in place because parallel imports are genuine products bought from another country instead of the manufacturer's authorized distributor in the consumer's country. The manufacturer or authorized dealers in the consumer's country are not obligated to honor warranties for products they did not import or distribute. This is a common practice to protect authorized dealers and ensure that consumers are aware of potential after-sales service limitations.
