A tangible advantage of the introduction of a mandatory labeling system was the ability to trace fur products at all stages of their sale. All participants in the turnover, from importers and manufacturers to retail stores, are required to transfer information about actions with products to the system. Each step, from the moment of arrival to the moment of departure, is marked and recorded through special equipment. A similar operating algorithm allows buyers to check a fur coat using a chip while having a phone or PC with Internet access at hand. Today we will show you the entire process of data verification so that you can confidently distinguish a genuine product from a counterfeit one and know where to turn in this case.
How does the fur coat chip verification system work and should you trust it?
The actual labeling of fur products began 3 years ago. During this time, the system went through its “run-in” among the participants in the turnover and actually came under the control of the CRPT only in June of this year. At the same time, only organizational aspects underwent changes.
Product data that was previously held by the old operator was transferred to the new personal account. There are no plans to relabel already released products.
In order to understand the basic principles of the honest mark and how the traceability of fur coats is recorded, you need to familiarize yourself with the following points:
- When marking a product, so-called control identification marks or CIDs are used.
- They are produced and controlled by GOZNAK and are applied to a fur coat in 3 possible ways: By sewing in.
- By gluing.
- Using hanging tags.
- When you are an importer and import products into the territory of the EAEU.
What a correct KIZ should look like
Those produced on the territory of the EAEU
Those imported into the territory of the EAEU
GOZNAK has clear requirements and rules for the appearance of KIZ in this regard, which must be applied to fur coats. There are 2 types of them: (red) imported into the territory of the EAEU, (green) produced in the territory of the EAEU. More precisely, the red color is used on products imported from other countries. Green for things produced in Russia.
They are deciphered as follows:
- The country identifier is indicated.
- Information about the presence of an RFID chip in the product barcode is noted.
- The Data Matrix code of information about the product is applied.
- The short name of the product is indicated, according to the interpretation in the HS classifier.
- The EAN-128 barcode data from the GS1 RUS UNISKAN organization is entered.
- In the case of red KIZ, the fact of import into the territory of the customs union is noted. To do this, an arrow is printed on the country identification.
How to check the chip/KIZ on a fur product?
- Check online on the Federal Tax Service website.
- Download a special application on your smartphone (installed from the application store).
How to check a fur coat by chip number on the website
- Fur coats, vests, jackets with fur, sheepskin coats.
- Parts of clothing made from this material.
- All products made from natural fur (blankets, pillows, etc.)
Summarizing the above, we can say that you need to buy fur products only after you are convinced that the fur coat was sewn not in artisanal conditions, but in a specialized fur factory and not somewhere in China, but in the country that positions itself as a manufacturer of quality fur products.
Answering the question about what KIZ is, it must be said that this sign marks all products made from fur, which is valued on the market.
Next, you need to work with applications or sites online:
After this, all the information available in the database is opened. The screen displays data about the place of production of the item, the name of the fur, the brand, the declaration of conformity, and information about the seller.
Checking a fur coat using a chip using an app on your phone
For those who would like to check a fur coat by chip number or barcode, it is necessary to install the CRPT application on the device in advance. Next, we will consider instructions from the official developer. We recommend using only this:
- Let's go to your application store. In our case, Play Market.
- We find the application in the search: “Honest Sign”. Be careful here. The developer must indicate a center for the development of promising technologies. We install it on the device.
- When you first log in. On the main page we find a special sign consisting of parentheses. This is the scanning tool itself.
- After this, we find the chip on the fur coat and use the phone’s camera to enter the Data Matrix code. Above noted in paragraph 3. In the form of a black and white barcode in a frame. The system should automatically scan and take you to a product information page.
- If this does not happen and a red cross or an error message appears in the frame, then click the button: “Enter code manually.” A table will open with a choice of the name of the product that needs to be checked. Select fur products and enter the marking code. It is indicated at the bottom of the KIZ (in the example it is marked as point 5).
Thus, you can find out information about the authenticity of a fur coat via your phone. In the latest app update, the developers even added a tool with which you can immediately complain about the product you are checking. In this case, an inspection will be carried out against the store.
What information does the chip contain?
A small card with a barcode during verification allows you to trace the entire path of the fur coat from the manufacturer to the final buyer. There is a full labeling of the product, what fur it is made from, who the seller is and who the manufacturer of the outerwear is, as well as the country of production, product name, brand and other data.
With this small label you can easily establish the authenticity of the fur and purchase a truly worthwhile item. Many buyers who do not understand the breeds and characteristics of fur can now purchase a fur coat of decent quality.
Checking a fur coat using a chip via the Honest Sign website
If for some reason you cannot install the application, then you can check the microchipping of a particular fur coat through the official website. There are a number of tools that allow you to do this in a few minutes. To check you need:
- Go to the official fur coat marking page on the Honest Sign website.
- At the very end of the page we find a form for checking the marking code. Enter the barcode of the fur coat indicated on the chip and click check.
- If the number is genuine, a table with product data will appear. If an error occurs, you can report the entrepreneur for violating labeling rules.
What information can you find out about a fur coat?
If the fur product you have chosen is genuine and marked with all the rules, then when you scan the number the following information will appear:
- KIZ status. It will be indicated whether the product being checked has been sold or not yet.
- Full name of the product to which the mark belongs.
- Type of fur.
- Country and manufacturer.
- Brand and legal name of the seller.
- Additional information in the form of: color, size, fact of painting, number of declaration of conformity, as well as model.
This way the fur product is checked before purchasing. We hope that with the advent of a mandatory labeling system, this process will work and will become a powerful argument in the decision to take or not take this or that product.

What is a fur scanner for?
The initiators of the bill decided to ensure that counterfeit and low-quality mink coats do not enter the market. Thanks to a barcode, you can track the entire path of a fur coat, from production to the final point of sale. Before the introduction of authentication testing, the share of illegal products reached 80%.
Choosing a fur coat in a store
The chip guarantees the quality of the fur and allows you to scan the license plate. The barcode contains the following security elements:
- holographic mark;
- graphic signs;
- it is resistant to low temperatures.
Barcode on the product
Mink and other fur products are registered, which are classified as the following types of goods:
- fur coats, sheepskin coats, other outerwear containing fur;
- items of clothing made from fur;
- other things made from natural materials (plaids, carpets).
Checking using a mobile phone
Mink, arctic fox, rabbit, raccoon, and sheepskin items are subject to marking. Products in the manufacture of which fur was used in an insignificant amount, as a decorative element (trimming cuffs or collars), are not subject to inspection by the scanner.
