Marking of clothing and textiles has been introduced from January 1, 2021, but the remnants that were not sold out to this date could be marked until February 1. To make a business more comfortable to work with marked goods, this period has been extended until May 1. The corresponding government resolution was published on the pravo.gov.ru portal.
“The extension of the marking period would, first of all, enable stores to observe all the rules and sell out the goods remained since last year. The Chestny Znak system registered more than 125,000 participants in the turnover of light industry goods. More than 1.3 billion markings codes were issued”, Deputy Director General of the Advanced Technology Development Centre Vera Volkova said.
Digital marking is provided, in particular, for leather clothes, female knitwear, coats, rainwear, bedding, kitchen, table linen. Companies working with these goods is the most numerous group in the Chestny Znak system.
The marking itself is designed to protect consumers from poor quality, illegal goods, and business from unfair competition. Checking the legality of a coat or jacket is easy using the Chestny Znak application: just scan the marking code. To date, users have already checked more than 2.5 million light industry goods.
