In the current conditions of the Ukrainian economy, the greatest attention should be paid to consumer protection, as consumers are the main participants in market relations. Thus, in accordance with the regulatory legal acts that contain provisions on the consumer rights protection and regulate trade activity in Ukraine, a list of proper quality commodities that are not subject to exchange (return)is approved.The legal acts regulating the relations between consumers of goods, works and services and producers and sellers of goods, work performers and service providers of various forms of ownership, as well as contain provisions on the protection of consumer rights and regulate trade activity in Ukraine were analyzed in this research paper.The problem that is dealt in this research paper is not covered enough because the greatest attention in the field of commodity examination is paid to the examination of the quality of goods and their compliance with regulatory acts, therefore, it requires more thorough research. The importance of introducing homogeneous approaches and conditions under which some categories of proper quality commodities, after their purchase by consumers for private use, lose investment attractiveness in the course of conducting forensic commodity examination.This research paper deals with the problems which forensic experts face when judicial authorities appoint commodity examination, in which it is necessary to establish the market value of such categories of goods as food products, medicines and hygiene products, as well as some non-food products of the proper quality which were purchased by consumers for private use. As a rule, at the time of examination, the above groups of goods are in a used condition.On the basis of the conducted research it is possible to summarize that non-exchangeable (returnable) goods of proper quality, after purchase by end users, have value only for the consumer of such products. Accordingly, these products lose market value due to the influence of subjective judgments of the consumer of goods of this category in the secondary market, even if the product has a short operation life in connection with the loss of some or all of the consumer properties as a result of its intended use.The solution to this situation is proposed through raising questions by investigating and judicial authorities to an expert in the course of conducting of a forensic commodity examination on determining the size of the material damage caused to the owner of the property as a result of the committed offense or damage to property.
