DTI Iligan conducts twin price monitoring activities

ILIGAN CITY—The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Iligan City-Lanao del Norte Provincial Office and the Local Price Coordinating Council of Iligan (LPCC) conducted a simultaneous monitoring on Price Tag compliance and the new ICC Markings for Christmas Lights.

Linda Boniao, DTI assistant regional director said they inspected 408 public market stalls from the city’s two big markets.

Stores that did not comply with the Price Tag Law were issued notice of violation by the market superintendents’ office.

Also, of the 19 establishments inspected for compliance to the new Import Commodity Clearance (ICC) markings on Christmas lights, 12 were found to be selling uncertified and mislabeled products.

These stores will be subjected to further verification as to their ICC Certificates and the possible correction of the mislabeled items, otherwise penalties will be imposed to erring establishments as mandated by law, Boniao said. PIA ILIGAN
