Guyana National Bureau of Standards (GNBS) inspectors recently seized large quantities of cigarettes and unapproved dial scales.
In a press release, the GNBS stated that the seizures occurred during surveillance exercises that were conducted by inspectors of the Product Compliance and Legal Metrology Department.
It explained that spontaneous surveillance visits to several retailers in the Port Mourant, Corentyne, Berbice area resulted in the seizure of more than 107 cartons (1071 packets) of cigarettes which do not meet the requirements of the national standard as it relates to the labelling of tobacco products as well as the Tobacco Control Regulation of 2018.
