Northern / > i Developments By Maurice Fenelon Northern Development Officer In Ontario's booming "grey market", stereo components can be $100 cheaper than normal, but hidden costs may hit buyers hard. Most problems come up when a grey market item breaks down and the owners discover their warranties are worthless, meaning they have to pay for repairs. Grey market goods are for- eign-made products - often top quality brand-name items - not intended for sale in this country. They are imported by Canadian dealers to be sold at reduced prices, often 25 per cent less than usual. The manufacturer's war- ranties are frequently useless to purchasers here. Parts may not even be available locally. Products frequently sold this way in Ontario include home entertainment equipment, small appliances, batteries and office communication devices such as fax machines. Grey market is not illegal in itself, but packaging, safety test- ing, advertising and import infractions do occur. Whether trying to buy or avoid grey market merchandise, con- sumers should learn how to spot it. Look for the following: * "Authorized Dealer" signs - if not displayed, be suspicious although some manufacturers don't issue them. * Canadian Standards Association (CSA) or Ontario Hydro certification or inspection stickers - Unapproved electronic goods cannot legally be sold in Ontario. Lack of a sticker, espe- cially on a well-known brand, often indicates the item is grey market merchandise, but the: reverse is nof necessarily true. Some grey marketeers get special approval for their goods which can then be stickered. A CSA or Hydro stamp shows the item meets safety standards estab- lished under the Canadian Electrical Code or "special instruction" guidelines set jointly by the two organization. * Bilingual literature - Product packaging, labelling or literature in French and English is a good indication the merchandise was intended for the Canadian market. Ask outright if the product was manufactured for sale in Ontario. The best stores make life even easier for customers by posting signs to clarify the status of goods they carry. Some shops substitute store warranties for those of the manufacturers and ads may carry Statements to that effect. It's as important to shop around for a good store and prices for grey market goods as it is for any other merchandise. It's also wise to limit grey mar- ket purchases to items that don't often break down. By choosing brand names known for depend- ability and picking models identi- cal or similar to Canadian mer- chandise, shoppers can protect themselves even more. Above all, don't expect Canadian companies to honor warranties on grey market goods or show much sympathy if you have problems. Some do help just to maintain their good name. Industry representatives esti- mate the Canadian grey market is worth $2 billion annually and revenues keep climbing - as do associated losses to domestic firms. Some companies are' sug- gesting Canada enact legislation to control or outlaw grey market activities. Grey marketeers argue their sales help promote price competition.
