The research method used in this research is normative juridical with secondary data in the form of laws and regulations, books, legal scientific works related to research. The results showed that after the enactment of Regulation of the Minister of Trade Number 40 of 2022, the government was increasingly assertive in taking action against smugglers of imported used clothing and business actors who traded in imported used clothing by closing shopping centres for imported used clothing which aimed to provide protection to consumers while still paying attention to the rights of business actors. The government has carried out its obligation to provide guidance and supervision of consumer protection as mandated in the consumer protection law.
