The Gomel Region’s State Control Committee has halted sales of over a thousand items of imported clothing and footwear, including children’s goods, at a low-price store in the Loevsky district, due to a lack of mandatory labeling, according to the agency’s Telegram channel.

The products were missing essential information, such as the product name, manufacturing date, raw material composition, and other required details. Some items also lacked quality and safety documentation.

Additionally, certain types of footwear, bed linen, and kitchen items were not marked with identification means. It’s important to note that trade in goods without such labeling is prohibited.

During inspections, it was found that even the identification marks on some products were not readable by the cash scanner. This resulted in a failure to ensure mandatory transmission of sales data to state control systems for cash equipment, as well as digital marking and product traceability.

The committee also reported another violation: the absence of domestically produced goods that are mandatory for availability in the trading facility, including footwear, clothing, bed linen, bags, belts, and other items.

The store’s operations have been suspended until the violations are resolved. An administrative case has been initiated against those responsible. The tax authorities, the regional State Standard Inspection, and local government bodies have been notified of the findings.
