Digital Marking Requirements Russia
Did you know that foreign manufacturers who export goods to Russia need to comply with the digital marking law, so goods that are intended for shipping to Russia must be marked with these codes and registered in the Chestny ZNAK system.
Digital Marking
Digital marking is coming into force gradually and is already required or announced for the majority of consumer goods, from medicines and tobacco products to clothing and baby food. Since January 1, 2021, light industry goods including clothing, tires, photo cameras, dairy products, and perfumes, and eau de toilette must be marked. Selling these products without the required label will be considered illegal and blocked by the cash register in the store.
This Order specifies the list of consumer goods that must be marked with special identification marks containing individual information about the goods in 2019. Details of which goods are affected and the dates required can be checked on the Chestny ZNAK website.
What exporters need to know
The purpose of the new digital marking system is to drive total traceability from manufacturing to the sale of the product. When goods are manufactured, they get assigned a unique code. A label with this code is attached to the item and the code is entered into the Chestny ZNAK system.
All information generated by all participants of the marking system will be stored during the life cycle of the goods, the code is checked and compared with the code in the system, verifying that the code is valid to fight misuse and fraud. Full details about how the system works are available here.
