Winter sales 2012

This page has been automatically translated from French into English by a translation software. Automatic translations are not as accurate as translations made by professional human translators. Nevertheless these pages can help you understand information published by the City of Brussels.

In Belgium, a trader can only sell products under the name 'sales' ('solden' in Dutch, 'soldes' in French) twice a year. Both periods of sales are determined by law. The first period begins on Tuesday 3 January 2012 and ends on Tuesday 31 January 2012.

   

Those sales are the seasonal renewal of the range of the trader. This is done through an accelerated selling at lower product prices. The products must be sales items that have already been on sale at the trader for a minimum of 30 days.

Waiting period before sales

Before the start of the sales there is a waiting period: from 15 November till 2 January. During this waiting period, it is legally prohibited by law to have sales in the clothing, footwear and leather sector.

The winter sales thus take place from 3 till 31 January 2012. The summer sales take place from 1 to 31 July.
