First of all, you need to record the product you saw for sale in a photo or video (photo, video and video shooting in a public place is allowed). After that, contact the store administration and draw their attention to possible violations of the legislation on the handling of humanitarian aid. If it is a chain store, most likely, the administration is aware of what is happening and it is unlikely that it will come as a surprise to the employees. However, you, as a consumer, have the right to request a quality certificate or other accompanying documentation for the relevant product, which would confirm the legality of its sale. Then report a possible offense. Contact the police by phone 102 or by additional phone numbers of law enforcement agencies or by the SBU hotline at 0-800-501-482 or by the corresponding e-mail: callcenter@ssu.gov.ua. In the message, indicate the address of the place where you noticed the sale and clearly describe the circumstances of what you saw. It is desirable, but not necessary, to indicate your full name and contact number. Later, inquire about the results of consideration of your message.
If your messages are repeatedly ignored, and the store continues to violate the law by selling humanitarian aid goods, try to contact local journalists and discuss the possibility of recording the story. There is a high chance that publicity will work effectively to stop the crime, give resonance to its investigation, and prevent other "wanting to make extra money".
