For example: operators engaged in retail business do not indicate the price of the goods as required when filling in the price tag; units and individuals that provide paid services do not specify the price of the goods at their business premises or the place where fees are paid in accordance with regulations. Publish a detailed price list of charging items in a conspicuous position; operators who purchase agricultural and sideline products and waste materials fail to publish a purchase price list at the purchase point in accordance with regulations, etc., all of which fall under the penalty provisions of Article 11 (1) of the non-marking of prices illegal conduct.

Illegal acts of not clearly marking prices in accordance with the prescribed content and methods

When prices change, they must be replaced in a timely manner. If operators fail to clearly mark prices in strict accordance with the content and method of the above requirements, it will not be conducive to protecting the interests of consumers or even harming the legitimate rights and interests of consumers. Therefore, Article 11(2) of the Penalty Regulations stipulates that it is a price violation. .

Illegal acts of increasing prices beyond the stated price and charging unspecified fees

This is also a price violation stipulated in Article 13 of the Price Law.

Other violations of clearly stated price regulations

In order to avoid an incomplete enumeration in this regulation and to enable the penalty provisions to cope with new forms of violations of clearly stated price regulations that may appear in the future, Paragraph 4 of Article 11 of the Penalty Regulations provides for cover provisions for other violations of clearly marked prices.

Article 42 of the "Price Law" has clearly stipulated the legal liability that operators should bear if they violate the clearly stated price regulations, and there is no need to refine the penalty provisions. Just out of the need to refine this illegal act, Article 11 of the Penalty Regulations also provides cohesive provisions for its legal liability, that is, ordering corrections, confiscation of illegal gains, and a fine of not more than 5,000 yuan. The so-called illegal income here refers to the illegal income obtained by illegal actors due to violation of clearly stated price regulations. However, according to Article 14 of the Penalty Regulations, if the overcharged price by the illegal actor can be refunded, it shall be refunded within a time limit (or announced) to the consumer or other operator who overpaid the price. Only those who still cannot be refunded at the expiration of the time limit can be regarded as illegal. Proceeds shall be confiscated.
