Russia has come up with a loophole for the supply of Apple and Samsung equipment

There is already a shortage of iPhones 11 and 12 in Apple stores.

В России придумали лазейку для поставки техники Apple и Samsung

Retailers have estimated that stocks of equipment from Apple, Samsung and other companies that have decided to suspend operations in Russia will be enough for 2-3 months. However, the Ministry of Industry and Trade has already come up with a workaround for the equipment to arrive in Russia. The Russian mass media write about this.

Thus, the Ministry of Industry and Trade is considering the possibility of allowing parallel imports (import of goods into the country without the permission of the right holders). Technically, there is no such ban in Russian law, but in this way the government wants to protect Russian suppliers from possible sanctions from manufacturers.

It is specified that in Apple stores there is already a shortage of iPhones 11 and 12, the demand for which has risen sharply after the jump in exchange rates and the rise in price of newer models of the smartphone line.
