your homepage is an eye opener to me, but i have a problem, i have been trying to use those homepages to order coffie and i live in Iceland. I tried the roumbouts site and they at first confirmed and i paid but then it got cancelled and i got an email that they dont send to Iceland, i dont know why. Do you have a solution for me because it would be so great for me to be able to buy those product on a fair prize rather than the apperantly overprized zinzino

Yes there are ways! First is to use parcel forwarding, that is to buy a service that provides a mail address in another country. Then the package is forwarded. To make it economical you may want to buy some volume at once. They may also reject your order due to where your credit card is issued. Then you must also get a credit card at a foreign bank.

I´ll try that, do you know why they would reject cause of my creditcard being icelandic, is it illegal for them to sell me this product. Does Zinzino have legal ownership on selling these products in the scandinaivian countries and thus being able to sell overprized cause there is no competition or could i buy shitload of products and start selling them on fair prizes in iceland.

Well, Rombouts will try to enforce Zinzino’s exclusivity on the coffee. For some reason they think they will benefit on honoring the aggreement. And up to this point it seems like they do, but now coffee sales are in decline so who knows for how long. So if they detect parallel import attempts they will try to stop is. To prevent parallel imports or discriminate against nationality is not allowed according to EU laws.
For Iceland it should be the Icelandic laws that regulate imports if not the EFTA or any other agreement covers it.
There seems to be no reason to presume parallel import to Iceland is illegal, it is just a matter of finding a supplier. You could also partner up with someone in France, Belgium or UK to supply the good. There the coffee is sold at low price supermarkets.
