Belize Bureau of Standards Advises Consumers

In light of Tropical Storm Lisa, the Belize Bureau of Standards takes this opportunity to advise consumers to be vigilant as it relates to the prices of goods and services during this time. It is common for unscrupulous business practices such as price gouging to occur during or after a natural disaster or any other state of national emergency. Consumers are, therefore, reminded of the importance of saving receipt(s) as proof of purchase which can serve as a basis to formally report any contraventions encountered in the marketplace.
