The Government of the Russian Federation is expanding the list of requirements when working with labeling of goods. For more information about the current changes, see the text below.
Automatic blocking of counterfeit goods (products). This process will be integrated with the databases of regulatory authorities for all groups of labeled goods. It is also planned to work on the introduction of risk indicators that allow for inspections in the presence of such a degree of risk.
Labeling for new product categories. Since 2024, the experiment on mandatory labeling is expanding, and the following categories of goods will be included in it:
Expansion of product traceability systems. Product tracking systems will be updated and supplemented with new features. These systems are linked to other information resources, therefore, the regulatory authorities plan to refine the operation of the systems in order to eliminate the fact of data discrepancies in each program.
Blocking the sale of goods at the checkout. Since 2023, an experiment has been launched to block the sale of goods at cash desks (for example, blocking the sale of expired goods with a marking code that have been withdrawn from circulation). Starting from April 1, 2024, this mechanism will be phased in on a mandatory basis and will extend to 12 product groups. In the future, the blocking mechanism is planned to be extended to all product groups.
We remind you that the process of labeling goods is recognized as the procedure for applying a brand with a unique code to the label of this product. Products from different categories are subject to labeling of goods. Each category of goods includes a number of products that are assigned a nomenclature classifier established in the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation (indicated in the text above). If your product has been assigned a classifier from the list, then such a product is subject to mandatory labeling.
In this case, companies need to submit an application for registration in the information monitoring system "Markirovka tovarov", posted on the portal "Chestny znak". This must be done within 7 calendar days from the date when it becomes necessary to carry out activities for the turnover of goods.
After registration, you need to set up your own software for information interaction with the "Chestny znak" and send the appropriate application to the system operator. The duration of the procedure is 15 calendar days from the date of registration.
Further, an agreement is concluded between the "Chestny znak" operator and the company to obtain marking codes that appear in the system and are subsequently placed on the product. The transfer of goods between the participants will be carried out on the basis of universal transfer documents issued through the electronic document management system.
Administrative and criminal liability is provided for violation of the requirements of legislation in the field of labeling of goods. For more information about the composition of responsibility, see the table below.
