Penalty standard for selling fake goods
Hello! Let me answer your specific question about the punishment standard for selling fake goods. First of all, selling fakes is a very immoral behavior from the perspective of public order and good customs, and selling fakes to sellers is also an illegal behavior. This kind of behavior belongs to cheating ignorant consumers. Because of this illegal behavior, consumers buy things they don't want, or get hurt in the process of using them or can't achieve the ideal effect, so they want to recover them. Then if the seller who sells fake goods is caught, he may face criminal punishment and bear corresponding legal responsibilities. Secondly, if the sales of fake goods do not reach the above amount, they will not bear the corresponding criminal responsibility, but they will accept the following penalties:

1, ordered to stop production and sales;

2. Confiscation of illegally produced and sold products;

3. A fine of more than 50% and less than three times the value of products illegally produced and sold will be imposed;

4. If there is illegal income, it shall be confiscated;

5. If the circumstances are serious, the business license shall be revoked.

[Legal basis]:

Article 2 14 of China's Criminal Law stipulates that whoever sells a large amount shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years or criminal detention, and shall also or only be fined; If the sales amount is huge, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than seven years and shall also be fined.

Whoever sells fake and inferior commodities commits several crimes at the same time shall be convicted and punished in accordance with the provisions of heavier punishment.

According to the specific circumstances, accept the following penalties:

1. If the sales amount is relatively large, that is, the sales amount is more than 50,000 yuan, it shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years or criminal detention, and shall also or only be fined;

2. If the sales amount is huge, that is, the sales amount is more than 250,000 yuan, it shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than seven years, and shall also be fined.

Secondly, if the sales of fake goods do not reach the above amount, they will not bear the corresponding criminal responsibility, but they will accept the following penalties:

1, ordered to stop production and sales;

2. Confiscation of illegally produced and sold products;

3. A fine of more than 50% and less than three times the value of products illegally produced and sold will be imposed;

4. If there is illegal income, it shall be confiscated;
