The fundamental problem is a lack of supply chain integrity. Customers can buy a million cables or laptop batteries directly from (country that shall not be named), but they have no idea if they're getting fakes or not. The fix isn't "authorized" suppliers only, but requiring a reputable someone in the supply chain to maintain evidence of continually testing products advertising trademarked standards for compliance. If it's too much work, then boohoo, sad day for them, they don't get to be traded or sold in country X. In all honesty, flooding a market with cheap, substandard products claiming standards they don't comply with is dumping. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dumping_(pricing_policy) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dumping_(pricing_policy)
