President of Russian Federation
D. Medvedev

Trade is an area of the economy that requires regular control by the state.

In 2009, the State Duma of Russia adopted the Law “On Trade”, designed to make adjustments to the relationship between suppliers of goods, wholesale buyers and.

Over the past 7 years, the Russian economy has undergone significant changes, forcing market participants to act according to their own rules, sometimes far from the law. In this regard, in the spring of 2016, a number of deputies of the State Duma, including Irina Yarovaya, submitted for consideration several amendments that could significantly change the current law “On Trade”.

After reviewing the submitted documents and plans, the State Duma adopted the proposed amendments in the first reading.

The Federal Law “On Trade” of 2009 was adopted with the aim of increasing the efficiency of state regulation of trade activities, delimiting the powers of local and federal authorities in terms of trade, as well as protecting the rights of legal entities and individual entrepreneurs engaged in trade activities.

Scope of application The law is limited to the territory of the Russian Federation, as well as the powers of specific subjects.

Thus, the provisions of the law are not applicable to foreign trade operations, transactions carried out within the framework of small-scale markets, activities related to the sale and purchase of securities, as well as trading in goods of limited circulation. The Trade Law is not applicable to activities related to organized trading.

The main task The current law is to prevent the establishment of trade monopolies, price increases, and infringement of the rights of buyers and suppliers of goods.

New amendments to this law since 2016

Due to the fact that the current law largely infringes on the rights of producers, attempts have been made repeatedly to make significant adjustments to it, which have been successful only in recent months.

Among those accepted amendments special attention should be paid to:

The amount of remuneration paid by suppliers. There is great competition among product manufacturers everywhere, associated with a limited number of representative retail outlets ready to put the product up for sale. To reduce competition, suppliers use all sorts of tricks, including providing retail outlets with a 10% discount on each batch of goods sold. Naturally, 10% of the cost of the entire product is a lot. But manufacturers are forced to put up with such a figure from year to year, otherwise the goods they supply will not be in demand among retailers and will not find their buyer. The amendments adopted by the State Duma reduce the specified discount amount to 3%, including also the costs of advertising the product and other expenses.
Terms of payment for goods received and sold. The Law “On Trade” of 2009 did not clearly regulate the terms of payment by the retailer for the goods received. On average, the manufacturer received payment within the next 10, 20 and even 45 days after delivery, which in some cases had negative impact on his financial position. Thanks to the adopted amendments, this problem was largely resolved. Legislators concluded that payment for perishable goods must be made no later than 5 days after their delivery. At the same time, the payment period for other goods was reduced to 20 calendar days.

The amendments made primarily concern essential goods and food products. For household chemicals and goods that are not in demand, the same conditions remain as before.

Everything happens in a few clicks, without queues and stress. Try it and you will be surprised how easy it has become!

Practical application of the amendments

The practical application of the announced amendments to the Law “On Trade” will not be slow to show itself. Starting from the time of their adoption, product manufacturers will have the opportunity to significantly save on the supply of goods to retail outlets.

In addition, the FAS is tasked with monitoring and preventing attempts to increase discounts on goods by wholesale buyers, which are wholesale and retail outlets. If violations are detected, retailers and wholesale buyers may lose the right to trade. The penalty is a fine of 2 to 5 million rubles.

As for the implementation of the article regarding payment for goods received, in practice it should look like in the following way: the manufacturer distributes the goods to retail outlets and receives payment after 5-20 days, without worrying about whether it is sold or not. In principle, this happened before, but manufacturers had to wait at least 30-45 days before they could be paid all the money, most of which went to pay for advertising services and placing goods on shelves. The adoption of the amendments should change the existing situation, prevent the monopolization of prices by large retail outlets and protect the rights of not only the manufacturer, but also the consumer.

Consequences of innovations

Despite the obvious positive aspects of the amendments that have practically come into force, many manufacturers and wholesale buyers of goods tend to note their rather negative aspects.

Thus, on the one hand, reducing the discount from 10% to 3% will have a beneficial effect on product manufacturers, providing an opportunity for further production growth, on the other hand, wholesale and retail product networks will suffer. The saved 10% was the reward that the retail chain received for timely fulfillment of the terms of the contract for the sale of goods. Part of this remuneration was spent on promotion, packaging and logistics.

According to the new bill, all listed expenses plus sales remuneration should fit into 3%. It is likely that having lost part of their profits, retail chains will try to make up for it by raising prices for goods. Another option would be to refuse to purchase essential goods in large quantities; instead, they will purchase household chemicals, pet products and products for which this rule does not apply.

As for the obligation to pay for the cost of goods within the specified limited time, it should be understood that not all products received at the retail outlet manage to be sold within 5-20 days, which will force its owners to strive to purchase small quantities of goods.

Thus, innovations can lead to ambiguous dual consequences. Adopted to protect the rights of producers and consumers, they can lead the country to a food crisis, which is currently the subject of much debate among economists, legal entities and individual entrepreneurs.

Wholesale buyers of goods at a certain point may find this type of deal unprofitable, and they will begin to look for new ways to purchase and sell products. In addition, this bill makes it impossible to spend huge amounts of money on advertising products, as a result of which the demand for it may change in negative side. This has not yet happened, but the new amendments have not yet fully entered into force; most likely, the main pros and cons of the decision will be visible closer to autumn, or even winter, when it is time to sell the harvest.

Deferment of payment under the trade law

The most important criterion for assessing installment payments is the date of delivery of the goods, receipt of the goods and the shelf life of the goods. Using this criterion, the legal relationship between supplier and client becomes more legitimate and open, which allows the trading process to be more efficient.

All information about the installment plan and its terms is presented in article 9, paragraph number 7. A list of the most late dates payment for food products:

Products with the shortest shelf life are paid for first. All goods that can be stored for less than 10 days must be paid for within 8 working days. The payment period begins from the moment the customer receives the product;
Products with an average shelf life are paid second. All items that can be stored for less than 30 days but more than 10 days must be paid for within 25 working days. The payment period begins from the moment the customer receives the product;
Products with a long shelf life are paid last. All items that can be stored longer than 30 days must be paid for within 40 business days. The payment period begins from the moment the customer receives the product.

In past years, the installment periods were longer; in order to improve the quality of the goods sold, it was decided to amend the law. According to the changes, the deadlines were reduced by 5-10 working days.

If the inspection reveals violations, the person engaged in the sale will be held accountable in accordance with the provisions of this and other laws of Russia.
