@nuclearcat interesting points, I didn't know this. My second idea of the store is to buy dresses (also from turkey,US,China... in small quantities) and rent them (instead of selling them). Will this also cause me troubles? Should I have a receipt for every dress? what if the dress is for a friend of mine or a personal belonging? Am i not allowed to rent it?
Not sure again about Lebanon, and person i usually ask advice not available now, but as in other countries, they are usually allowed to ask you for purchase papers of products you have on your shelves/product list, be it rent, sale or even equipment, even if they are bought from local dealer or manufacturer, and not imported.
And if your friend is not operating as fully legit business, this will just forward troubles to him.
At the end chain should end somewhere, or on legitimate manufacturing business or on legitimate import, and they might follow it till end if they smell anything wrong.
