3. Aims

The aim of this document is to assist officers with the enforcement of Grey Market Goods.

We aim to achieve this by:

  • Developing a consistent approach across all 32 Scottish LAs in efficiently dealing with the enforcement of Grey Market Goods.
  • Clarifying the enforcement powers that officers have at their disposal to remove non-compliant products from the market in Scotland and, where appropriate, to take enforcement action against those involved in the importation and placing on the market of Grey Market Goods.
  • Encouraging the recording and sharing of intelligence to identify the principal importers/distributors of Grey Market Goods.
  • Maintaining a UK-wide approach to enforcement by working alongside the FSA and other UK enforcement authorities.
