Gold sellers are required to sell gold according to the specified weight and purity stated in the invoice, and failure to comply will result in legal action, according to sources.  

Gold shops must sell gold at the official reference price and comply with the new standardized system. The purity of the gold sold must match what is stated on the invoice.  

"The gold must be sold at the purity level stated on the invoice. For example, if it says 15-karat gold, it must be exactly 15-karat. If a customer buys gold at the 15-karat price but receives lower quality, the seller will face penalties," said a gold business owner.  

Authorities, including officials from the General Administration Department, will conduct on-the-ground inspections to ensure compliance with set prices, standards, and quality as indicated on invoices. Violators will be prosecuted under the Essential Goods and Services Law. 

Under the new gold weight system, one tical of gold is now defined as 16.329325 grams. Sellers must use digital scales for accurate measurements during transactions.  

Gold was included under the Essential Goods and Services Law last year, and non-compliance can result in imprisonment ranging from six months to three years.
