In the event that the wholesale and/or retail companies, enterprises, and shops fail to comply with the above legal requirements within the specified deadline, TRC will take strict measures, including confiscation of illegal telecommunications equipment, imposition of fines, closure of advertising websites, and/or implementation of other measures in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations. In addition, TRC would like to remind all retail enterprises and shops to immediately cease the illegal purchase and resale of products bearing the above-mentioned trademarks until TRC issues a notification confirming the legal status of the importing, supplying, and wholesale distributing companies and enterprises.

TRC calls upon all wholesale and/or retail companies, enterprises and shops that are legally engaged in the importation, supply, and distribution of telecommunications equipment to cooperate and report the identities and addresses of individuals, companies, enterprises, or warehouses of traders or wholesale distributors involved in illegal telecommunications equipment activities to TRC via hotline number 6789 during working hours or by email at info@trc.gov.kh.

Therefore, all wholesale and/or retail companies, enterprises, and shops that have been and are currently engaged in the business of importing, supplying, and distributing telecommunications equipment are hereby informed of these regulations and requested to cooperate accordingly.
