The Independent Consumer and Competition Commission of Papua New Guinea (ICCC) is responsible for enforcing the Commercial Advertisement (Protection of the Public) Act.

This Act protects the public from any commercial advertisement that may contain untrue, inaccurate, misleading, misrepresentative or unreasonable statements used in describing the size, quality, quantity or nature of goods or services.

In addition to the ICCC, the Packaging Act is responsible for ensuring that goods are properly labelled.

This is where the labelling of the good must contain an approved brand (that is, a brand that the Minister for Commerce and Trade approves) or the name and address of the person on whose behalf the article was packed, or the name and address of the packer.  Certain products have specific packing requirements.  These include medicinal products, plants and margarine and exporters are advised to contact their importer concerning package types.
