Hi, I want to ask all the sifus here that
My company is actually the appointed sole distributor for a certain food brand from Indonesia. The one my company selling now are export packing that made by the manufacturer in Indonesia. But lately, many other trading companies bring in the local packaging from the same manufacturer (They bought bulk from market and send in by container).
The local packaging that they are selling dont have any importer sticker but they got make declaration.
So, since my company are the sole distributor, is it possible that I can stop them from selling the local packaging that is not meant for Malaysia?
Thank you
I guess this is wat is termed by parallel importing. Its happening to Engine Oil brands (some you can find in TESCO or GIANT).

One of the way is to contact your Principal in Indonesia and see if there's a solution to this problem. With their assistance, then its easier to launch any legal proceedings with thse competitors you're finding in the market.
Else, the other way is education and educating market about Genuine vs Parallel Import. With Engine Oil, company DOES not recognize any damages caused if using a parallel imported product.
Few examples similar to your problem (most of them still not solved)
Imported Cars
Imported Engine Oils
