No, it's pretty clear. Bottom line: If a product carrying a company's trademarked logo/IP was not produced by that company, or under license/permission by that company (such as the Tag Monaco in the OP), it is counterfeit.
Selling (trafficking) counterfeit goods is illegal, even if it is disclosed that they are "replicas". The only grey area is that it's not illegal to
buy counterfeit goods, as the buyer is seen as the "victim" in most cases.

No. See above.
