Wallet Price Rundown: Q1 2025 MART Inspections in Belarus
Welcome, folks! Let's dive into the nitty-gritty details of the 2025 Q1 pricing legislation compliance monitoring by the Ministry of Antimonopoly Regulation and Trade (MART) in Belarus.
During eleven inspections spanning from January to March, MART fined traders for a whopping 74 violations. The agency sent 468 requests to these traders and issued 19 orders to tackle the issues at hand.
So, who got slammed with the highest fine? The "N-TiVi" enterprise was hit with an 82,000 ruble fine for illicitly raising prices on their TVs. The ZAO "Euroopt Internet Store" was also fined 49,000 rubles for inflating wholesale and retail prices of various goods. The Belarusian Supreme Court upheld this decision after an appeal attempt.
In the nation's capital, the LLC "PZ-West" (trade network "Dobrotsen") was fined over 4,500 rubles. The fine was imposed on three of their officials for exceeding trade margins on regulated goods and violating proper price formation.
A few other violators besides N-TiVi and ZAO Euroopt included: "Zhabinka Feed Mill" in the Brest region, "Orsha Flax Mill" and "Turov Dairy Combine" in the Gomel region, and the "Volkovysk Delicacies" store in the Grodno region, each facing fines for various pricing discrepancies and irregularities in their products and pricing practices.
Additionally, MART, in partnership with the State Customs Committee and the Ministry of Agriculture and Food, identified four instances of reduced price exports, including a shipment of nearly 400 kilograms of cheese by OJSC "Molkavita."
Just a side note to all the traders out there: Be on the lookout for MART inspections and make sure you're playing by the rules to avoid fines and sanctions. And remember, consumer protection is key in maintaining a prosperous economic landscape, folks.
