In January 2018, a track & trace experiment for tobacco products was launched in Russia. The Center for Research in Perspective Technologies is the operator (Operator — CRPT), and the project is coordinated by the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia. Tobacco products are marked in consumer and group packaging, and the shipping package may also be marked. A two-dimensional code in the Data Matrix format, protected by domestic cryptographic technologies, is applied to the pack and the carton.
All major manufacturers of tobacco products, such as Japan Tobacco International, Philip Morris International, Japan Tobacco International, British American Tobacco, Imperial Tobacco, etc., participate in the experiment, as well as retail chains, distributors, and software developers. CRPT collaborates with developers of accounting software, manufacturers of cash register equipment, fiscal data and e-document flow operators in order to improve the efficiency of the system implementation.
Chestny ZNAK digital marking of tobacco products
Chestny ZNAK track & trace system of mandatory marking is designed to control illegal products and protect consumer rights.
The list of products that are subject to mandatory marking includes tobacco products. According to Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 224 dated 1 July 2019, the production of unmarked cigarettes and the retail sale of marked products without communicating the data to the digital marking system are prohibited. Retail sale of unmarked cigarette packs shall be permitted until 1 July 2020.
Any consumer will be able to scan the code on their smartphone and check the quality of the product. Transparency of the system, regularity and compliance with the regulations are the main levers in the fight against counterfeiting and smuggling.
Stages of digital marking of tobacco products in Russia:
How are tobacco products marked?
To register in the Chestny ZNAK system, a manufacturer, importer, wholesaler or store must fill out an application. Registration requires issuing an electronic signature and installing the appropriate software.
The next step is to apply the DataMatrix code. This is a unique code that guarantees the authenticity of a particular cigarette pack and contains the necessary information about the manufacturer.
Retail sale of tobacco products
The changes will affect retail sales, first of all, work with documentation. The supply of marked tobacco products will be accompanied by universal transfer documents (UPDs). The e-document flow system (EDF) will help determine the conformity of codes. Acceptance of products through EDF shall be mandatory from 1 July 2020.
A salesperson shall scan the DataMatrix code, and a cash register/check-out shall send the information to the fiscal data operator.
The code can be read at the checkout even with no Internet connection. To do this, a barcode scanner with 2D scanning support is required.
Manufacturer responsibility for inappropriate digital marking
According to Art. 15.12 of the Code of Administrative Offenses, sale, transportation and production of tobacco products without digital marking entails a fine of RUB 5 thousand to 10 thousand (for an entrepreneur). For an incorporated entity, the amount will be higher, from RUB 50 thousand to 300 thousand. Also, all unmarked tobacco products will be confiscated.
Administrative liability can become criminal if the cost of unmarked tobacco products exceeds RUB 1.5 million. According to part 1, Art 171.1 of the Criminal Code, the perpetrator faces imprisonment of up to 3 years with a fine of RUB 80 thousand.
According to the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 1251 dated 26.09.19, a track & trace experiment on marking the alternative tobacco products was launched on 1 October 2019. It includes cigars, cigarillos, bidis, kretek, smoking, snuff, chewing, pipe and hookah tobaccos. The Center for Research in Perspective Technologies is the operator of this experiment. A pilot project is necessary to prepare the industry for the implementation of mandatory marking.
To participate in the experiment, one must register in the system according to the guide.
According to the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 224 dated 28 February 2019 on the approval of the rules for marking tobacco products, the timeframe for mandatory marking is set for such products. From 1 July 2020, their production and import will be prohibited, and the registration of wholesale sales using electronic invoices (UTDs) and retail sales through online cash registers will become mandatory. From 1 July 2021, unmarked alternative tobacco products will be banned.

To register in the track & trace digital system for tobacco products, you must:
To successfully register in the Track & trace Information system for marking and monitor the tobacco products circulation, you must check if you meet the following conditions:
IS MOPT is the Track & trace Information system for marking and monitor the tobacco products circulation.
The problem of illegal product circulation is particularly acute for Russia: the share of illegal circulation in light manufacturing is about 35%, in the perfume market — 20%, and in the medicine market — up to 10%.
According to research by Kantar TNS analytical agency, the share of the illegal cigarette market in Russia increased to 7.7% in Q1 2018, as compared to 4.6% the previous year.
In December 2017, Russian President Vladimir Putin approved the resolution of the Government for the creation of the National track & trace digital system by 2024 based at the Center for Research in Perspective Technologies (CRPT).
The Track & trace system being created by the Centre, known as Chestny ZNAK, makes it possible to effectively combat counterfeit and contraband goods and protects legal businesses and brands of bona fide manufacturers and consumers.
Digital marking will allow businesses to increase their production capacity, improve logistic schemes, increase market share and ultimately increase revenue:
In accordance with Resolution No.1433 of the Government of the Russian Federation dated 27 November 2017, «On Conducting a Track & trace Experiment for Tobacco Products using Identification Tools and Monitoring the Circulation of Tobacco Products», an ongoing experiment was launched on 15 January 2018 within the Russian Federation, and is coordinated by the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia.
As of March 2019, the digital marking will be mandatory for the tobacco industry. Amendments were made to Federal Law
On March 1, 2019, the registration of stores and manufacturers in the Chestny ZNAK National track & trace digital system became mandatory.
Starting July 1, 2019, the release of unmarked products will be ceased.
Starting July 1, 2020, the circulation of unmarked products will be ceased.
— send information to the monitoring system about retail sales of tobacco products;
— send information to the monitoring system about receiving tobacco products from suppliers;
— sell only marked tobacco products?
Companies and individual entrepreneurs concerned with retail sale of tobacco products are to submit the following information to the Track & trace Information system for monitor:
Entrepreneurs who use cash registers without transferring data to an FDO will need to enter the data on the codes of the sold packs into the personal account in the monitoring system once every three days.
Before the transition to the mandatory marking, pilot projects are conducted for each group of goods. They are necessary for representatives of the industry to be able to prepare for working with marked products in a calm manner, together with the project’s operator. This includes adapting equipment for printing codes, upgrading cash register software, etc.
These pilot projects must commence at least a year before the mandatory marking begins, allowing the relevant industry to prepare for implementation and minimize costs.
At the pilot project stage, all participants will gain access to the system, including the generation of digital marking codes and traceability of their circulation, free of charge.
The experiment participants are tobacco companies in Russia, which manufacture about 95% of all tobacco products in the country, (Japan Tobacco International, Philip Morris International, British American Tobacco, Imperial Tobacco, Donskoy Tabak, Korea Tomorrow & Global Corporation, Union Tobacco Factory), the distributors through which over 88% of tobacco products are sold (Megapolis Trading Company, SNS Group), and retail organisations (X5 Retail Group, Metro C&C, Lenta, Magnit, Dixy, etc).
Changes for market players will be minimal.
Manufacturers need to adjust the process of applying a Data Matrix digital code on packs and a linear code on cartons. The digital code applied to each product item will be scanned by members of the sales chain. Information on their movements will be transferred to the Chestny ZNAK Track & trace system.
Distributors will deliver the data to the track & trace system in electronic format via
When the goods are sold, after arriving at the retail sales points, information on the sale must be submitted to the Chestny ZNAK track & trace system. For this purpose, the code on the pack needs to be scanned at the cash register, and it will be automatically transmitted to Chestny ZNAK through the fiscal data operator to whom the cash till is connected. Since the code contains the product GTIN, it is enough to just scan the Data Matrix itself. As the system already contains data on the maximum retail price, the cashier would not need to input this information at the point of sale.
As of 1 July 2019, all points of sale will be equipped with online cash register in accordance with the requirements of Federal Law
To utilize the system, the following technical equipment is required:
For manufacturers:
For distributors and wholesalers:
For a retail point of sale:

It is worth mentioning that the costs spent on EDF are recovered as a result of reduced turnover of paper documents and, consequently, savings on printing, sending and storing paper documents. The average cost of a paper document is RUB 20, which is 4 times higher than the cost of an electronic document.
We invite solution developers and integrators to participate in the project and wish to make our system as open, convenient and useful for the market as possible. Send your proposals to support@crpt.ru
