How to distinguish licensed products, parallel imports and refurbished cameras?

Nikon has no factory in China, and all the licensed products sold in Chinese mainland are imported from Japan, so its sales are completed by four agents: Liangchi, New Kang Hua, Quantum and Lida. Therefore, licensed products will definitely stamp the legal person seal of one of the agents on the warranty card. It should be noted that since Nikon only has a branch in Hong Kong, the words "NIKON HONG KONG LTD" will appear on its warranty card, and if "NIKON JAPAN LTD" is printed, it will be parallel imports. In addition, licensed Nikon cameras are not made in China, but there are also Chinese instructions and Chinese menus.

Sony has a digital camera factory in China-Shanghai Suoguang, and all domestic products come from this factory. So Sony's licensed products are easier to identify. Just look for the words "Made in China". In addition, the licensed warranty card and box also have the label of Shanghai Suoguang.
