How to recognise an authentic German product
Updated on 19 July 2026
How to check that a German product is genuine in Morocco: packaging, labelling, dm provenance, and how to avoid counterfeits.
Quick answer
An authentic German product has original German packaging and labelling, comes from a known retailer (such as dm) and is sold with a clear provenance. On FromGermany.ma, every product is imported directly from dm stores in Germany.
Check the packaging and labelling
A genuine product shows crisp, error-free German text, a valid EAN barcode and the manufacturer's legal information. Be wary of packaging with blurred, badly translated or inconsistent text — a common sign of a counterfeit.
Check where it comes from
Always ask where the product comes from. The dm brands (essence, Balea, Mivolis…) are sold in dm stores in Germany. A serious seller states the origin clearly and offers cash on delivery, which lowers the buyer's risk.
