In China, the pricing of bulk liquor (散装酒) is typically regulated by the following three key provisions, which can be translated into English as:
1. Taxation Compliance
All bulk liquor must adhere to national tax policies, including Consumption Tax and Value-Added Tax (VAT). Pricing must reflect legally mandated tax obligations.
2. Quality Standard Requirements
Prices must align with the liquor’s quality certifications, such as compliance with the National Food Safety Standards for Distilled Spirits (GB 2757-2012). Inferior or counterfeit products are prohibited from arbitrary pricing.
3. Market Supervision and Price Transparency
Sellers must clearly label prices and avoid price fraud or monopolistic practices. Local market regulatory authorities enforce strict oversight to ensure fair pricing and consumer rights.
These rules aim to balance market fairness, consumer protection, and regulatory compliance. For specific cases, regional policies or additional industry guidelines may apply.
