It spans a wide range of sectors including public health, labor, environment, transportation, telecommunications, intellectual property, taxation, customs, and military service. The code outlines specific violations and assigns penalties—primarily monetary fines quantified in “calculation indicators”—based on the severity and recurrence of offenses, and the status of the offender (individual, official, or legal entity).
