I'm not sure how they categorize those nameless clones, gray market I believe is more about receiving legitimate goods through unauthorized channels, Apple iPhones for example should be sold only by authorized dealers, those sold on Ebay are probably gray market, or counterfeits that may not even use the Apple operating system.


I believe your Chinese look alike goods would generally get through customs OK, quality control and your customer satisfaction is dicey when dealing with unknown Chinese suppliers.
