Special attention is paid to the influence of administrative and legal norms on business development, protection of consumer rights and ensuring competition in the market. Advanced practices of trade regulation in developed countries, in particular, in the European Union and the USA, are analyzed. Key elements of effective regulatory systems are highlighted, such as transparency of procedures, minimization of bureaucratic barriers, and provision of equal conditions for all market participants. The state of administrative and legal regulation of trade in Ukraine is evaluated, its shortcomings and gaps are revealed.
