Unmarked clothing items sold at a shop in Gelendzhik result in a financial penalty being imposed
In a recent development, a court in Russia has ordered the confiscation of unmarked light industry goods from the "Munich" store located in the "Gelendzhik" shopping center in Gelendzhik, Krasnodar. The ruling was made in relation to an inspection conducted by the territorial department of the Krasnodar Territory's Rospotrebnadzor on September 16, 2021.
During the inspection, 140 units of light industry goods were found to be lacking mandatory marking in the GIS MT "Fair Sign" system. As a result, a total of 3,471,600 rubles worth of goods were removed from sale on the same date.
The court ruling did not specify any additional penalties or actions beyond the fine and confiscation. The "Munich" store was fined 30,000 rubles, and the unmarked goods were confiscated. However, the total value of the confiscated goods remains unknown, as only the value removed from sale was previously mentioned.
The light industry goods included jackets, windbreakers, and t-shirts, all of which were produced in European Union countries. The incident marks a significant step in ensuring compliance with Russian regulations regarding the mandatory marking of goods in the GIS MT "Fair Sign" system.
It is important to note that the court ruling is a separate event from the protocol of arrest drawn up during the inspection. The court ruling is the latest event in the series of actions taken following the inspection of the "Munich" store.
The court ruling does not indicate whether the "Munich" store has a history of similar violations. This incident serves as a reminder for businesses to ensure compliance with all relevant regulations to avoid potential legal consequences.
The protocol of arrest was drawn up under part 2 of article 15.12 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. The court ruling is a clear demonstration of the commitment to upholding consumer rights and maintaining fair trade practices in Russia.
