Multi-brand stores usually purchase goods that have already been put into circulation, that is, they work with wholesale suppliers, so if they have properly prepared documentation for the goods, they do not need written permission from the company - the owner of the brand to sell their goods.

In addition, I recommend that in contracts with such wholesale suppliers, it should be specified that by selling products under the contract, the supplier does not violate anyone's rights and legitimate interests, including in the field of intellectual property, and also provide for the responsibility of the supplier in the event of presenting to the store any any claims related to intellectual property.

Problems may arise if the company - the owner of the brand has granted the exclusive right to import goods to Ukraine to one or several subjects. If the trademark is registered in Ukraine or has undergone international registration covering the territory of Ukraine, and is entered in the customs register with the indication of persons - official importers, then the import of such goods by other entities may be impossible.
