The article discusses the risks faced by importers, distributors, and retailers in the UK market due to the possibility of poor-quality products reaching the market. The liability for these products does not disappear even if the people doing the checks are no longer present. The interconnected nature of the global supply chain system makes it difficult to ensure the safety of any items coming into the UK from abroad. Therefore, it is necessary to set up parallel, independent checks of the supply chain, including tracking the movement of goods that come into the business. Importers should pay particular attention to the integrity of their supply chains to ensure that supplies originate from trusted sources with a reliable history of compliance. Due diligence checks should be conducted throughout the entire supply chain to mitigate the risks.
