Certamente, mi sono permessa di specificare perché qualcuno ha scritto che il termine non esiste per la legge italiana, mentre se scritto al contrario trovi molte occorrenze in google.

Se comprate in paesi extra CEE dovete sicuramente pagare IVA e Dazi e la dogana potrebbe bloccarle per verifiche che possono durare anche settimane; se risultano contraffatte non vi vengono consegnate e c’e’ il rischio di essere denunciati per ‘acquisto incauto’;

it's not that the goods are stolen...they could be false...like a pair of Nike shoes which look like and have the Nike logo but are not made by the Nike...

thanks Ivana
agree James (Jim) Davis : looking on google the words "acquisto incauto" don't seem to be used in Italian law. Its not a quote. So Jean's generic suggestion is probably best.
