The article is devoted to the study of current problems of legal definition and establishment of mandatory elements of the criminal offense (crime) provided for in Article 227 "Deliberate introduction into circulation on the market of Ukraine (release on the market of Ukraine) of dangerous products" of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. Mandatory signs of the objective side of the investigated criminal offense have been established. Attention is focused on the moment of the end of the crime.
