Diversion refers to what practice?

Diversion means moving a product to another market to avoid the rules that would apply in its original market. By channeling goods into a different jurisdiction with different or laxer regulatory requirements, the seller sidesteps oversight, labeling standards, and safety controls that should protect consumers and animal health. This is distinct from making a fraudulent imitation, which is counterfeit; from producing on an unlicensed line and selling anyway, which is illegal production inside a facility; or from creating a similar product under a different name, which is a misbranding tactic. The focus here is the deliberate redirection of product flow to dodge market regulations.
