About The Campaign

How does it work?

The Tick Box scheme can be implemented easily with no red tape barriers. At the heart of the scheme is the code of practice, which sets out simple procedures aimed at preventing the storage of counterfeit and other illicit goods and clarifies the information and support they can receive from the scheme.

All businesses committed to fair trading and consumer protection are invited to join the Tick Box scheme. Once the Tick Box code of practice has been confirmed, the company can display the code of practice within its premises, along with the Tick Box posters and logo.

Are there any costs involved?
