After the release of last week's article "ZOVOO, ELFBAR and other brands have received Russia's" honest label ", local e-commerce companies say they will not raise prices", many friends contacted Gewujun backstage, hoping to have a deeper understanding of the "honest label".
After all, according to relevant Russian regulations, 2023 will bee-cigarettesOne year when the integrity label of the company has been fully implemented, e-cigarettes without the integrity label will not be able to be legally circulated from December 1. Therefore, we sorted out relevant materials to help everyone complete the most basic understanding of honest labeling as quickly as possible.
The background of the honest label
The first thing that needs to be clear is that as Russia's national-level commodity circulation monitoring system, its official name is "естный А к о К", and the Chinese page of its official website calls it the "Integrity Logo." We will also adopt this expression in the future.
Public information shows that the Honest Logo System was launched in 2019, with #p#pagination title #e#It is a national commodity identification and traceability system managed by the Ministry of Industry and Trade of The Russian Federation.The purpose is to protect consumers from counterfeit and shoddy goods.
According to Russia's plan, by 2024, almost all consumer goods sold, manufactured and imported, such as dairy products, bottled water, medicines, tobacco, shoes, light industrial products, fur coats, perfumes, tires and cameras, etc.;

According to the official website data of the Honest Sign System, Russia has serious problems with the circulation of illegal goods.The share of illegal goods in circulation in manufacturing is about 35%, the perfume market is 20%, and the pharmaceutical market is 10%. Therefore, this system follows the mandatory principle and realizes the entire traceability of products through electronic notes. It is more helpful to protect minors in the field of e-cigarettes.# p#pagination title #e#
It is worth noting that since Russia's plan for this system is to manage the circulation of most goods through it, the specific progress of various products will vary due to their characteristics.In terms of e-cigarettes, whether they contain nicotine or not, they are within the regulatory scope of honest labeling. The relevant instructions are as follows:
The specific time planning progress is as follows:
Starting from December 15, 2022, manufacturers and importers will be allowed to register for free;
Starting from December 25, 2022, suppliers must mark manufactured or imported products;
Starting from March 1, 2023, wholesalers and retail businesses will be forced to register in the system;#p#paginated title #e#
Starting from April 1, 2023, wholesalers and retailers must upload sales data of labeled products;
Starting from December 1, 2023, the circulation of e-cigarettes without "honest logos" will be completely prohibited;
In other words, starting from early April, practitioners engaged in e-cigarette wholesale and retail in Russia will tend to e-cigarettes with honest logos. For example, Vardex, Russia's largest e-cigarette e-commerce company mentioned in the article "ZOVOO, ELFBAR and other brands have received Russia's" honest label ", and local e-commerce companies say they will not raise prices" clearly mentioned that honest labeling is conducive to ensuring quality and will not increase prices.
How to register and run honesty tags
Although the name honest label is relatively unfamiliar, there is a more popular saying in China for its principle-one thing, one code.Simply put, it is to give each product a unique QR code to realize traceability from the entire chain of production, circulation, and retail.If you give a vivid example, it's similar to #p#pagination header #e#yueshiinthe cartridgeThe QR code verification service launched on the website.
