In case of stopping sales or changing sales hours, business units must have a written notice to the Department of Industry and Trade, stating the reason and only after being approved in writing by this agency. At the same time, businesses are not allowed to have acts of speculation, hoarding goods or reducing sales hours due to fluctuations in gasoline and oil prices.
In addition, gasoline and oil business units must list the selling prices of all types of gasoline and oil and sell according to the listed prices, and at the same time be responsible for quality, quantity and selling price according to regulations.
