I don't work for Xiaomi.

But as a manufacturer, we have to get regulatory compliance for our products from the countries we sell to.

Yes, this is a Big and Expensive deal.

Of course, a grey marketer can physically ship our products from one regulatory regime to another without our permission.

So a countries regulatory authority finds our product for sale in their country and it doesn't comply with the regulations.... what recourse do they have?

The most common one is confiscation from the sellers.

But if the problem is sufficiently widespread, they may choose to put pressure on the manufacturer.... do something about this or we will block the sale of your goods in our country.
