You are able to avoid retailers that require slotting allowances.

You’ve stopped offering quantity discounts because in certain business channels, the goods were being diverted from their intended international market to retailers in the U.S.

You no longer require price floors for retailers because you don’t have a plausible reason that consumers are better off with the price floors in place.

Although many retailers aren’t able to take advantage of the quantity discounts you offer, a few of your best retailers do.

While quantity discounts in B2B markets aren’t specifically addressed by the Robinson-Patman act, discounts that only a few retailers can take advantage of may be a form of illegal price discrimination. Your company should work with an attorney to review the quantity discounts.
