📋 Tender Overview
The Council of the Eurasian Economic Commission considered the proposal of the Russian Federation to expand the list of light industry goods subject to identification marking, and decided to amend the current regulatory legal acts of the Eurasian Economic Union.
The amendments concern exclusively the types of products that are subject to labeling, approved by the Decision of the EEC Council “On the introduction of labeling of certain light industry goods with identification means” dated November 18, 2019 No. 127.
The marking will be extended, in particular, to children's clothing, swimwear, ties, children's and women's underwear, as well as headwear. With regard to the specified goods, the EAEU countries have the right to establish a ban on the circulation of unmarked products from March 1, 2025.
“The gradual inclusion of new goods is the development of the Union’s common marking system, allowing consumers to verify the authenticity of products and increasing the competitiveness of bona fide market participants by reducing illegal turnover,” noted EEC Minister of Trade Andrey Slepnev.
He stressed that the marking of new groups of goods will be carried out, as before, according to unified rules. At the same time, the provisions of the basic technological organizational model of the system of marking goods by means of identification in the EAEU, approved by Decision of the Council of the Commission dated March 5, 2019 No. 19, are taken into account. Thus, mutual recognition of marking codes will be ensured, which will eliminate the need to re-mark goods when they are circulated on the territory of the Union.
