Door-to-door peddlers must present DTI permit
« on: September 02, 2009, 01:43:55 AM »
PROTECTING unsuspecting consumers from getting sub-par products in the light of the resurgence of persistent peddlers in the rural areas, the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) advises: ask for their home solicitation permits from the DTI.

The often pitiful complaints of consumers getting the lousy end of deals in these peddling activities have often been the subject of radio complaints in Bohol stations, most of them dealing with defective products and furnishings or lousy services.

Consumer division chief Joe Hibaya said vending and peddling activities can only have the green light after the proponents have secured the necessary home solicitation permits from the DTI.

The permit would then contain the identified area and coverage, the duration of the activity, which should only be within office hours so the buyers can verify with DTI and the permit also contains the personnel of the company involved in the activity, clarifies Hibaya.

The consumers have the right to safety, Hibaya points out and that should also allow them to seek for the right information about the product they are going to buy then they choose the product with informed decision, Hibaya pointed.

For imported products, DTI said consumers should look for the genuine International Clearance Certificate (ICC) marks. For local manufactured goods, they should at least bear the Philippine Products Standard to sport the PS mark, hinted the DTI authorities.

While people would still unwittingly go for the low-priced often sacrificing quality, at least they have been duly informed through the right labels of the products they get.

Succeding complaints, Hibaya said may be coursed through the local DTI but the standard procedure is to go through the store’s consumer welfare desks (CWDs) for facilitation of action.
