Hello there,

I have a question with regards to the legality of parallel importing
textbooks (the softcover versions) into New Zealand and Australia, especially from
Asia. I am currently aware of two statutes that cover this matter (the
NZ Copyright Act 1994 and the Trademark Act) but they have been
amended a few times.

Will you be able to advise on the current standing of the above question?

There is no answer at this time.

Won't it depend on the status of the individual books to be imported: 
whether or not they have been produced under the copywrite?

The good starting point would be information about Australia New
Zealand Closer Economic Relations agreement:

Hi there,

Thanks for the comments. Just want to add a detail- the books does not
infringe the copyright act but does any other regulation govern the
parallel importing of textbooks?
