As long as it doesn’t say “made in Hungary”

And on a more serious note. Hizbolla is a blacklisted terrorist org, they can’t just order stuff from regular factories. Buying from an anonymous white label factory in Hungary with no address and little information is probably pretty normal from them - because anyone doing business with them in the EU will go to jail

As long as you’re not buying electronics from shady factories with no known owners you’ll be fine

Exactly. The EU designates Hezbolla as a terrorist group. It is illegal for EU to sell to them.
