Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Somsak Patradoon: It may well have been a division, a bureau, or an office, as in "Office of Fair Trading." Also, I have the feeling in China there are only four municipal level cities: Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing, and Tianjin, unless the list has been revised.

Kunming Administration for Industry and Commerce Fare Trade Division


Explanation:
I don't think there is an official translation for the term yet.

1. Most of the municipal Administration of Industry and Commerces (AIC)s drop municipal, like Beijing Administration of Industry and Commerce, Shanghai Administration of Industry and Commerce, Shengyang Administration of Industry and Commerces.

2. "Fare Trade Division" is one the Internal Divisions in Shanghai Administration of Industry and Commerce (SHAIC)(the link).

Sorry Catherine,

My apology that I was busy looking for reference but failed to recognize the very phrase that should be translated was spelled incorrectly.

so, it should be Kunming Administration for Industry and Commerce Fair Trade Division

Hopefully, my entry can be helpful anyway..

Have to thank Mr. Somsak Patradoon.

disagree  Somsak Patradoon: I think the web site made a spelling mistake. "Fair trade" makes more sense, unless you're talking about the Transportation administration.

  -> Sir, I have to agree with you. Most likely it's a typo for "Fair Trade Division" there. Apparently it's "fair" in the following text..

Kunming Municipal Industry and Commerce Bureau Office of Fair Trading


Explanation:
Usually, the term 'gongping' translates as 'fair' or 'equal', while 'jiaoyi' is exchange/trade. Chu can be translated as Section or Office. In English, and coming from a native speaker of English, it is more natural to say 'Office of Fair Trading', which you'll find in any English speaking counry across the globe. Ju Is more appropriately translated as Bureau in the context of Mainland China
