Legal regulation of trading activities

Abstract

The purpose of this article is a retrospective review of the regulatory framework for controlling trading activities. It examines regulatory documents of five levels that define the system for providing objects of this activity: goods, wholesale and retail trade services, processes for their provision, and results of the service. It has been established that the documents of the first three levels regulate mandatory requirements for the quality of goods supplied and sold, as well as commodity distribution processes. A set of national standards for trade services establishes requirements on a voluntary basis.
