Is Haitao genuine?

Haitao is not necessarily the real thing.

Recently, the intensive exposure of Haitao fakes has once again sounded the alarm of consumption. In Haitao's fake production and sales chain, not only the products themselves are faked, but also the shopping receipts, entry certificates and express information can be faked, which makes consumers hard to prevent. Although many cross-border e-commerce companies claim that "100% is genuine" and "one fake and ten penalties", consumers may encounter lies and traps in every link due to the large number of cross-border purchase market participants and long transaction chain.

On the one hand, the supply of goods is difficult to guarantee, and there are many fakes and adulterated patterns. A person in the cross-border e-commerce industry said that most e-commerce platforms adopt the mode of purchasing goods from traders or attracting sellers to settle in, which is prone to fraud. Even if some cross-border e-commerce platforms claim to be self-employed, it is difficult to guarantee that buyers buy genuine products.

On the other hand, logistics is tricky and the documents are not true. For consumers, all kinds of documents of Haitao goods from procurement to import are very important, and these have become the targets of fraud. Even shopping receipts can be "tampered with", relevant information can be entered and modified, and price labels can be filled in at will.

Extended data

Overseas goods with "high quality and low price" are favored by people, and "Haitao" is gradually accepted by consumers, but after-sales problems such as slow logistics speed and return and exchange also follow. Yesterday, some consumers said that after purchasing goods through Alipay "overseas purchase", they encountered after-sales problems. Alipay staff said that Alipay only integrates the functions of "payment" and "logistics", and after-sales issues can only be negotiated by consumers and overseas e-commerce. Lawyers reminded that Haitao needs to be cautious.

Li Xiaozhen, a lawyer from Beijing Bai Rui Law Firm, said that compared with traditional overseas purchasing, buying directly from foreign websites will face more risks. "If domestic merchants buy overseas goods, then consumers can claim their rights according to China's Consumer Law. However, if you place an order directly with a foreign e-commerce, once you have a dispute with the other party, it will be very difficult to defend your rights and the litigation cost will be high. "

For Haitao people, Li Xiaozhen suggested that we should be more cautious when choosing overseas e-commerce, try to place orders on large websites, pay more attention to other consumers' evaluation of products and websites, and be prepared.
