PERISHABLE PRODUCTS DO NOT RETURN
In the final third reading, the State Duma adopted amendments to the law on trade, which prohibit retailers from returning unsold products to suppliers if their shelf life is less than 30 days.
The law was introduced to the State Duma in January; in July, the bill was passed on first reading. The approved version of the law provided for a complete ban on the return of unsold food products. But retailers warned that a complete ban could lead to a shortage of certain types of goods due to the complexity of planning their sales volume.
As a result, a government amendment was introduced to the bill, which clarifies that food products whose shelf life does not exceed 30 days are not subject to return. The adopted law also prohibits the replacement of such goods with similar ones or the reimbursement of their value.
180 days after the adoption of the law, contracts between suppliers and retailers should be brought into line with it.
