Sharjah: Traders dealing with counterfeit goods in Sharjah will soon get a grace period of three months to clean up their act.
"Traders dealing with any type of counterfeit products are instructed to hand them over to the municipality, and they will be exempted from fines and penalties," said Saif Al Hisn, Head of Fraud Control Section at Sharjah Municipality.
The grace period will last for three months and will be introduced in two month's time, said Al Hisn.
If anyone is found to be selling counterfeit goods after the grace period, they will face stiff penalties, said Al Hisn.
