As a result of numerous appeals of individual participants in the footwear market about their inability of marking the remaining footwear before March 1, 2020, the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia developed a new draft resolution of the Russian Federation Government on amendments to Resolution No. 860.
According to the new wording of the draft resolution, putting footwear into circulation without applying identification marks and submitting information about marked goods to the information marking system, as well as the circulation and putting out of circulation of unmarked footwear, shall only be allowed until July 1, 2020.
Unsold until July 1, 2020 and currently circulating footwear should be marked before September 1, 2020 and information on the marking of such footwear should be submitted to the information marking system.
Also, the new draft resolution provides that, until August 1, 2020, the participants in the circulation should apply marking codes on footwear imported into the Russian Federation after July 1, 2020, but purchased before July 1, 2020, and submit information on the marking of such footwear to the marking information system.
