Starting from 1 July 2026, liability for selling expired goods will apply to all goods that must be labelled.
The Russian Government’s draft decree
Public discussions are now taking place.
The rules for labelling certain commodity groups (including, among others, footwear, dietary supplements, consumer goods and perfumes) will be supplemented with a new procedure of monitoring manufacturers, to be carried out by the operator of the labelling system for goods. The Ministry of Industry and Trade will approve the monitoring procedure and the criteria for assessing producers.
During the monitoring procedure, the following, among others, will be checked: whether a manufacturer has equipment, employees and has actually manufactured the goods. The results will be submitted to the consumer watchdog Rospotrebnadzor for review. The monitoring checks will be conducted either by visiting a production site or remotely, via the Inspector application.
