Five Government
Departments Issued the “Measures” to Rectify Unfair Trading Conduct between
Retailers and Suppliers
Recently, the domestic retail industry has been developing rapidly. It is evidenced by unceasing rise of chained supermarkets and home electric appliance flea markets. The new commercial mode of such kind of retail has produced significant effect on promoting commodity flow and consumption expansion. Unfortunately, some retailers abuse their advantageous position as the terminal of sale. Thus, “large shops deceiving customers” is a common phenomenon which results in detriments to the legitimate rights and interests of suppliers. In order to regulate the conduct of trading between retailers and suppliers, maintain the order for fair trading and protect the legitimate rights and interests of consumers, the Ministry of Commerce, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Public Security, the State Administration of Taxation and the State Administration for Industry and Commerce jointly promulgated the “Measures on Administration of Fair Trading between Retailers and Suppliers” (iSinolaw Reference ID: 10019863, hereinafter referred to as the “Measures”) on October 13, 2006.
The Measures mainly focus on the stronger party in the retailer-and-supplier trading, i.e. imposing mandatory restrictions on the retailers with more bargaining power with an aim to adequately protect the interests of suppliers. The Measures prescribe that a retailer shall not take the advantage of its superior status to conclude the supply contract with a supplier regarding specific commodities and refuse to accept such commodities after both parties reach a consensus regarding the specifications, models and designs of the commodities. A retailer shall neither compel a supplier to sale and return profits unconditionally nor compel a supplier to purchase the designated commodities or accept the designated service. A retailer shall not request suppliers to send their personnel to the retailer business site to provide service. Also, if a retailer replenishes the stock of a commodity at a lower price during the promotion period and return the residual stock of such commodity at a normal price after the promotion period, the supplier concerned shall have the right to reject the returned goods.
In order to deter the retailers from willful delay of payments to suppliers, the Measures provide that a retailer and a supplier shall clearly stipulate the term of payment for commodities in the contract based on the attribute of the commodities. However, the stipulated term of payment shall not exceed 60 days after receiving the commodities. Delay of the payment on certain excuses is held unacceptable under the Measures.
The Measures shall be effective as of November 15, 2006. With the implementation of the Measures, the conduct of trade between retailers and suppliers are probably regulated through legal means. The healthy development of retail industry, maintenance of social stability and protection of legitimate rights of consumers will be facilitated.

（一） 新 法 撮 要
五部委出《辦法》整治零售商供應商間不公平交易行為
近年來，國內零售行業發展迅速，連鎖超市、家電大賣場層出不窮。這些新型零售商業業態的大量出現，對促進商品流通、擴大消費發揮了積極的作用。但是，一些零售企業濫用銷售終端的優勢地位，“店大欺客”，在交易過程中屢屢損害供應商的合法權益。為了規範零售商與供應商的交易行為，維護公平交易秩序，保障消費者的合法權益，商務部、發展改革委、公安部、稅務總局、工商總局於
《辦法》主要針對零供交易中的強勢方——零售商的行為作了強制約束，適當保護了供應商利益。《辦法》規定，零售商不得濫用優勢地位，與供應商簽訂特定商品的供貨合同，雙方已就商品的特定規格、型號、款式等達成一致後，又拒絕接收該商品。零售商不得強迫供應商無條件銷售返利以及購買指定的商品或接受指定的服務。零售商不得要求供應商派遣人員到零售商經營場所提供服務。零售商在商品促銷期間低價進貨，促銷期過後將所剩商品以正常價退貨時，供應商有權拒絕退貨。
為了防止零售商惡意拖欠供應商的貨款，《辦法》明確規定零售商與供應商應按商品的屬性在合同中明確供應商供貨時約定貨款支付的期限，但約定的支付期限最長不超過收貨後６０天，並且不得以種種藉口延遲支付。
