Why regulatory compliance matters in automotive trade

Main inspection and control authorities:

  • Ministry of Trade – Product safety inspections and surveillance practices
  • Ministry of Industry and Technology – Technical regulations and type approval processes
  • Ministry of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change – Emission and environmental legislation
