The labeling of goods is a necessary procedure for imported goods into the country. The label is used to display crucial information about the product, which is essential for its identification. The customs clearance process can only take place smoothly and without delays if the product has been correctly labeled. If the goods lack the necessary markings, it is not uncommon for them to be held by customs for up to two months or more.
The practice of product labeling is implemented to ensure that consumers and regulatory authorities receive accurate and complete information about a given product.
The information on the label should include:
1. The product name
2. Country of origin
3. manufacturer's information and address
4. brand name
5. importer information
6. product specifications, and other relevant details.
The purpose of mandatory labeling is to protect consumers from counterfeit, fraudulent, and potentially hazardous goods.
Types of labeling and marking
All imported products must have labeling. The type of labeling depends on the type of product.
1. If the requirements for the imported product batch are controlled by the TR CU, all products requiring confirmation of conformity must be labeled with the EAC mark.
2. For goods that require certification under the GOST R system, the labeling will be RST.
The packaging, product label, or product itself is marked with the RST mark of conformity or the EAC mark. These marks inform the buyer that the product is certified and meets the established quality standards, and a certificate or declaration of conformity has been issued for it. Conformity assessment of products can be done through declaration, mandatory certification, or voluntary certification, and each form has its own specific conformity mark.
