How much does microchipping of fur products cost in Russia?

For Russia, buying a fur coat is not just a fashion statement or an indicator of status. It is also the desire to be warmly dressed in harsh winter conditions. It is fur that gives these sensations and helps to adapt to the climate. But until now, no one has given a guarantee that by wearing mink, sable or arctic fox fur coats, you will become the owner of a quality product.

On women's forums, deceived customers constantly talk about counterfeits that quickly become unusable, and it is unrealistic to prove the manufacturer's dishonesty. This is because the majority of Russian fur coats are from a “gray” illegal manufacturer, which is impossible to find officially and make a claim against.

In 2021, the state promises women to take control of all fur manufacturers and carry out total microchipping of fur products. Judging by the latest news, this will affect both Russian and foreign factories, where these tags will be directly sewn in or installed.

What is marking of fur products and why are chips needed?

Resolution No. 787 dated August 11, 2016 obliges fur products to be labeled. Sellers hang control marks (KiZ) on fur coats or check their presence when they receive the goods. Companies report to the Federal Tax Service when they accept or sell fur products. These rules are followed by manufacturers, importers, wholesalers and retail stores.

The state sees the path of each fur coat - from production to sale to the final consumer. According to a similar scheme, drug sellers report in the “Marking” system, and alcohol sellers report in the Unified State Automated Information System.


Control mark on a fur coat

The marking scheme looks like this:

  1. The manufacturer made a fur coat, put a chip on it and informed the Federal Tax Service about it. Now the state knows about a new product on the market. Clothes from another country are also marked.
  2. The manufacturer sends the product to the warehouse of the wholesaler. Both parties report to the system.
  3. The store accepts the goods from the supplier and informs the Federal Tax Service about it. If the chip breaks or comes off, the seller puts up a new one.
  4. When a customer buys a fur coat, the store reports the sale. The state sees that the product is out of circulation.
  5. The buyer reads the QR code from the control mark and checks the legality of the fur coat.

The state knows about every fur product that was made in Russia or imported from another country. It is impossible to sell goods in a store that were brought illegally from Turkey.

If you bought a fur coat in Italy for yourself and do not sell it, then labeling is not needed.

I heard that this is only an experiment, which means it is not necessary to label the products

After August 12, 2021, all sellers are required to microchip fur coats and comply with rules dated August 11, 2016 No. 787. Labeling fur products is a pilot project because the system is being tested on it. By 2021, the government plans to label clothing, shoes, tobacco, medicines and perfumes.

What can be sold without a chip?

In 2021, all fur coats without a chip are illegal. But there are fur products that are not covered by the new law on chipping fur coats. These include:

  • fur hats;
  • scarves;
  • products with fur trim;
  • haberdashery goods (pillows, bags, blankets, covers);
  • gloves, mittens, fur coats;
  • shoes;
  • toys;
  • sports accessories.

Why do you need to mark fur coats?

The state needs to remove counterfeit goods

When sellers smuggle clothing through customs, the government receives less tax. During the year of the pilot project, 24% of fur sellers were legalized. Rospotrebnadzor seized 10,000 fur coats worth 500 million rubles. Stores sold them without chips or violated labeling rules.

The store needs to remove unscrupulous competitors

Unscrupulous competitors import fur from abroad, do not pay duties and lower prices for goods. It is difficult for honest sellers to compete with such people.

And buyers trust more the store that sells labeled fur coats.

Buyers - make sure of the quality

At home or directly in the store, the client reads the QR code from the chip and receives information about the product: name, type of fur, country of manufacture and brand. Buyers who do not have a phone or a special application check the legality of the fur coat on the Federal Tax Service website.


Checking goods by KIZ number on the tax website

Will prices for clothing made from natural fur increase due to the introduction of microchipping?

As Russian experts predict, the price of fur products should not increase due to the introduction of chipping. However, prices for businessmen are dictated by the market; during the labeling process, a number of manufacturers will leave the market, as a result of which prices for fur products may rise.

Microchipping can have a negative impact on people with low incomes.

At this time, many stores are actively getting rid of old stocks of fur clothing not marked with chips, selling them at reduced prices.

What is a control sign (KiZ)

KiZ is a strict reporting form with an embedded RFID tag (chip). The sign is printed with a unique product number, information about the fur and a QR code for authentication via phone. KiZ cannot be faked, and if you try to remove it from a fur coat, it will become damaged.

The signs are produced long and wide. The only difference between them is the form.


Long and wide KiZ

If the control mark is red, the fur coat was brought from another country; if it is green, it was made in Russia.

For detailed requirements for the control mark, read the decision of the Council of the Eurasian Economic Commission dated November 23, 2015 No. 70.

How to attach KiZ to a fur coat

  • Sew into the seam from the wrong side during production. This sign is printed on fabric.
  • Glue onto the sewn-in label. The sign is printed on self-adhesive paper.
  • Hang on a loop, clasp or hanger. In this case, the sign is attached to a disposable plastic seal. If the seal is broken, the KiZ is invalid.

Main questions

We will try to clarify the situation based on official data about the mechanism, as well as taking into account the experience of implemented analogues. Let's compile facts and theory to learn more about the expected innovation.

Does the system only affect domestically produced goods?

No. It is already known for sure that this mechanism will apply to all products in the field. This postulate is equally true not only for clothing, but also for shoes. And given the fact that in 2024 it is planned to label all goods in a similar way, then all imports fall under these requirements.

How does the process work for imported products?

At this stage, there has been no information from official sources about this point. But we can draw logical conclusions that there is a high probability of applying a unique identifier even before going through customs inspection. So that a scan can be carried out there for the purpose of examination.

Who is required to apply the identifier?

Again, the question concerns the production stage. If the product was created on the territory of the Russian Federation, then naturally the manufacturer himself must request the code from the CRPT. And after receiving it, apply it yourself using special equipment. If we are talking about imports, then the responsibility, accordingly, passes to the importer.

What expenses will be needed?

The day you start, you need to acquire equipment to create codes. This is the main part of expenses at the moment. But besides this, you will need to pay for each specific identifier. After all, CRPT is a commercial company. Thus, the codes will be paid. This will increase production costs, but the disadvantages should be offset by increased demand. At least in theory. We have already clarified retail expenses. These are scanners, an online cash register and equipment for working with electronic document management. Although it is worth saying that most companies already have all these elements, because they are more efficient and convenient for business.

So, having figured out what product labeling for clothing is, how this whole system works, what to expect and what expenses are expected, you can begin active preparation.
Its key element is participation in the pilot period, which can begin at any time. Number of impressions: 13178

Which fur products must be labeled?

Products made from natural fur are marked: mink, nutria, arctic fox, fox, rabbit, hare, raccoon or sheepskin. It doesn’t matter whether the entire fur coat consists of fur or just the lining. The control mark is not needed if the only fur trim is the collar, lapels, cuffs or pocket trims.

Not marked:

  • mittens and gloves;
  • bags, backpacks and traveling bags;
  • shoes;
  • hats;
  • toys and sports equipment.

If I am selling a drape coat with a mink collar, do I need labeling?

No, because the collar is a trim. If you are in doubt whether a product needs to be labeled, read “Explanations for the commodity nomenclature of foreign economic activity of the Customs Union (HS CU).”

How to connect to the marking system and receive KiZ

Register on the website markirovka.nalog.ru

Through your personal account, stores register goods, report sales and order tags. To work, you will need an electronic signature. The one used for document management, electronic reporting or online cash register registration is suitable.

You can register in the system only with the signature of the head of the company. After the first visit, you can connect other employees to your personal account.

How to register in the “Marking” system - instructions from 1C

Sign an agreement with the manufacturer of control signs

In Russia, control marks are issued by JSC Goznak. To order a batch of KiZ, stores sign an electronic contract. For this you also need an electronic signature. For detailed instructions, see the Goznak website.


Conclusion of an agreement with the manufacturer

Join the GS1 Association

Each product item is assigned a GTIN code. Based on this code, a unique SGTIN number is generated for each fur coat, which is programmed into the chip.

To obtain product numbers, you must join the GS1 Association. Entry fee - 25,000 rubles, annual membership fee - 15,000 rubles. To relieve the burden on small businesses, the Federal Tax Service agreed with the Association on a grace period. The seller does not pay a membership fee if he describes less than 10 new product items by the end of 2021.

On the Association’s portal, the participant receives unique numbers for each product item. To do this, the seller prepares descriptions of all products: name, manufacturer, country of manufacture, unit of measurement of the quantity of goods.

The association only assigns GTIN codes to products. This is not enough to sell fur coats. Next, you need to generate an SGTIN, program it into the RFID tag and enter the information in your personal account of the Federal Tax Service.

Order KiZ in your personal account

For each fur coat you need to make chips with an SGTIN number. On the Markings website, make an application - how many signs are needed and what kind. The tax office will check it in 3 days or less, and then send it to Goznak. An entrepreneur will not be issued a KiZ if he has arrears in taxes, arrears of penalties, or has violated labeling rules more than twice.

You can order immediately programmed chips. The manufacturer will write SGTIN codes on the signs, and you just attach them to your fur coat.

If you order “blank” signs, then you will have to program them yourself, and then enter the data into the “Marking” system. To record RFID tags you will need a scanner for 60,000–200,000 rubles. If you don’t want to buy expensive equipment, contact a company that will write the chips for you.

Pay control signs

You will be invoiced when the tax office sends the order to the manufacturer. You pay 100% of the amount, and in 5 days Goznak makes chips. Delivery time is from 2 to 15 working days depending on the region. Chips are delivered to administrative centers free of charge. Read more about ordering KiZ in the document.

The price of one KiZ including VAT: sewn and adhesive - 15 ₽, mounted - 22 ₽.

Fur marking from registration to sale

Prices and KIZs

Many people are also interested in the following: whether the introduction of microchipping has led to an increase in the price of fur products. This has nothing to do with the marks themselves. For example, an adhesive, sewn-in KIZ has a price of 15 rubles, a hinged one is a little more expensive - 25 rubles.

There was an increase in prices (up to 30%) for “gray fur coats”. That is, foreign counterfeit. The increase in cost is due to the fact that suppliers had to pay customs and tax duties, which they avoided before the introduction of KIZs.

Entrepreneurs selling “gray fur” also found themselves in a difficult situation after the resolution came into force. After all, there was no way to legitimize fur coats brought from nowhere without accompanying documentation. Hence the liquidation of such stores.

Knowing what KIZ is, we can not be afraid to buy a low-quality fur product, a fake. After all, it’s enough to check the code on the tag to quickly get comprehensive information about the item.

How to accept and sell fur products

Manufacturers and importers - mark

Fur coat manufacturers order sewn-in signs and mark each product. Importers attach KIZ to goods at the border. Thus, the state immediately sees when a new fur product appears on the Russian market.

Received the goods - reported

When a wholesaler ships a product to a retailer, both report to the system within three days. During acceptance, the store checks the chip on each fur coat.

It happens that a sign comes off, breaks or gets damaged during dry cleaning. Then the company draws up a report of damage, loss or destruction and writes off the sign in your personal account within one day. Within 17 working days, the seller is obliged to hang a new KiZ on the fur coat and register it in the “Marking” system.


Personal account in the “Marking” system

Sold the goods - reported

The store or supplier enters information into the system after they have sold at least one fur coat. The seller has 3 days to do this. If a company transports fur to Belarus, Armenia or another country of the Eurasian Economic Union, it must report on the day of crossing the border.

Why are KIZs needed?

Knowing the decoding of the abbreviation KIZ, the reader will ask: “What is this innovation for?” It's simple: this is a way to combat counterfeit fur. In particular, the chips will help consumers avoid standard deception schemes.

Often sellers, taking advantage of the buyer’s inexperience, pass off one fur as another, more expensive and valuable one. They do not hesitate to paint, cut, or treat the product with specific products. There are also frequent cases when a different country of origin is deliberately named. This cannot be done with KIZ.

Specifically for the state, chipping is necessary to identify and suppress tax and customs evasion.

What equipment should I buy to work with marked fur?

To read radio frequency tags or program a product code into them, you need an RFID reader. And for the device to work with marked fur, you need special software. The free Federal Tax Service program only supports Bookos 2.0FE and ATID AT-870 readers. If you have a different device, you will have to write the software yourself or buy, for example, .


Mobile RFID reader Atid AT870 — 130,000–150,000 RUR

It is not necessary to purchase RFID equipment. To save money, stores buy a 2D scanner and accounting software. Tags are ordered from the manufacturer immediately with recorded SGTIN codes. You can also order empty keys and program them in other companies.

What are the penalties for violating the rules for marking fur coats?

The fines are listed in Art. 15.12 Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. If a company sews fur coats and does not label them:

  • organizations - 50,000–100,000 rubles;
  • officials and individual entrepreneurs - 5,000–10,000 rubles.

If the store sells unmarked fur, the control mark is damaged or can be removed from the fur coat:

  • organizations - 50,000–300,000 ₽;
  • officials and individual entrepreneurs - 5,000–10,000 rubles.

In addition to a fine, unmarked goods will be confiscated from the violator.

If there were more than 2.25 million rubles worth of unmarked goods, then the seller was subject to criminal liability under Article 171.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. Fine up to 300,000 rubles, forced labor or imprisonment for up to three years.

How to check the chip?

Checking the chip code on a fur coat

How to understand that the marking is genuine and the law has not been violated? To do this, you need to bring your phone with the application turned on to the QR code and scan it. If this is a real sign registered with the Federal Tax Service, then information about the model presented in the store will appear on the screen. Otherwise, the product can be considered illegal and prohibited.

Fur coat with chip

It is important! It is worth paying attention to the integrity of the sign. A damaged or torn KiZ is considered invalid and must be reissued. If the mark is lost, it will be canceled and the product will be re-marked.

You can also download the application from the tax office to your phone. It will be convenient to check when purchasing.

Verification Application

Let's summarize

  1. Sellers mark fur coats with control marks: sewn-in, glue-on, or hanging.
  2. Companies report to the Federal Tax Service when they sew fur coats, bring them from abroad, accept them and sell them.
  3. Collars, cuffs and other trims are not marked.
  4. To order KiZ: register on nalog.ru → sign an agreement with Goznak → join the GS1 association → order and pay for the chips.
  5. To avoid buying an RFID reader, order programmed keys immediately.

What are the benefits of microchipping fur coats?

Three parties are interested in mandatory labeling of fur products:

  • Manufacturer. A huge amount of counterfeit products are imported into Russia and sold at low prices. Despite the disgusting quality and rapid wear and tear, such fur coats, due to their budget cost, create fierce competition for factory-made products. They deprive producers of a significant share of interested buyers. Many customers are subsequently disappointed in the quality of the products and completely abandon natural fur. To prevent such things from happening, mandatory labeling of fur coats has been introduced. Despite the financial burden, chips are needed by conscientious sellers.

Buying a fur coat in a store

  • Buyer. For a person who purchases a fur coat, it is important to get a durable, wear-resistant, high-quality product. The presence of a chip and registration in special systems guarantees that this is a factory product and not a fake. In addition, the marking provides the ability to check the control mark yourself using your phone. In such a situation, deception by unscrupulous sellers is excluded.
  • State. Counterfeit goods are transported through customs illegally. No taxes are paid for natural fur. Labeling fur coats without chips allows you to control the path of each product from the manufacturer to the buyer and eliminate the slightest violation of the law.
