A reminder to the general public of existing laws, previously shared on reckless burning, arson and now price control as we are experiencing dry weather conditions due to the El Nino phenomenon and are under an emergency declaration.
39 Pohnpei Code Section 3, subsection 104. Limitation on price. In the instance of the first sale within Pohnpei of any item that has been imported from outside the state, the seller may include the following items in his price to the buyer, and no others: cost of the goods; actual charges for inland and overseas freight; insurance; import taxes or duties; and a sum not greater than fifty percent (50%) of the cost of the goods. In the instance of a second or subsequent sale of the same item within Pohnpei, the subsequent seller shall not charge a price to the buyer which is more than twenty percent (20%) greater than the price paid or promised to be paid by the seller for the item.
39 Pohnpei Code Section 3 subsection107. Civil penalties. Any seller of an item imported into Pohnpei who shall violate any of this chapter or any regulation issued hereunder may be required to void the sale and refund the price paid by the buyer, or refund the illegal portion of the price paid by the buyer. In addition thereto, the seller may be required to pay triple the amount of the illegal part of the price to the buyer. In the event the buyer shall not request any refund of damages, the Commission may order the seller to pay the illegal part of the price to the Commission. All funds collected by the Commission shall be deposited in the general fund of Pohnpei.
39 Pohnpei Code Section 3 subsection108. Criminal penalties. Any person who violates any of this chapter or any regulations issued hereunder, or who willfully falsifies or refuses to produce the records required hereunder shall, upon conviction thereof, be fined not more than $500, or imprisoned not more than one year, or both such fine and imprisonment. Each sale at an illegal price or falsification or refusal to produce records shall be a separate offense.
Customers/buyers are encouraged to report any abuse of these regulations and keep receipts of items bought. If you have any questions or comments or would like to report, please call 320-2235, or 320-2356 the Office of the Attorney General.
