Daigou (Chinese: 代购 dàigòu also 海外代购 hǎiwài dàigòu)[1] is a channel of commerce in which a Chinese person overseas purchases luxury goods for a customer in mainland China.[2] The phrase means "buying on behalf of".[3] Daigou sales total $15 billion annually.[4] Daigou purchases are often from luxury brand boutiques in major fashion cities like Paris, London, New York City, Hong Kong, Tokyo and Seoul.[5] Some daigou use Weibo and WeChat to communicate with their clients.[5] The large demand for the daigou service is due to concern over unsafe products and China's high import tariffs on luxury goods.[5] Some daigou service providers intentionally sell counterfeit made in China products that have been altered to appear purchased abroad.[6]
 
Daigou baby milk powder is bad. You are depriving other babies of milk powder. Furthermore ripping off the taxpayer subsidised milk.

For luxury items I dun really give a fish.
