What do you need to know about the fur labeling system? Since August 2016, a pilot project has been launched to start labeling goods on the territory of some countries. In accordance with the new legislation, all fur products from the established list are subject to the installation of a special chip (CiZ) on them, which is entered in the register and is an electronic document of strict accountability.
The manufacturer carries out the marking of each fur product, as evidenced by the presence of a special chip on each product. Further, the information is submitted to the Markirowka electronic system, the owner and supervisory authority of which is the tax department at the place of registration of the manufacturer. At the moment, the labeling system for products made of natural fur has been introduced into the legislation and has ceased to be just a pilot project.
Which products are labeled
All products made from animal skins are subject to labeling. This includes both individual skins and clothing made from them both in full and in lining and collar elements. Untreated skins, as well as those used for the manufacture of hats, shoes, gloves or as trimming of clothing, are not subject to labeling. Also, clothes made of natural fur, made in the atelier from the material of the customer, do not require chipping.
The full list of goods that must be marked is specified in the appendix to the procedure and rules for marking fur goods.
What is the chip for?
Labeling is done to prevent low-quality and counterfeit products from entering the market. Chips are also needed to control tax authorities for payment receipts from manufacturers and sellers of fur products.
Who should label
So, there is a labeling system for products made from natural fur. The obligation to use it rests with the manufacturers. Wholesalers and retailers must purchase products already marked. Unmarked goods must not be sold and failure to comply with these requirements may result in pen alties for the seller.
Sanctions applied to the violator vary depending on the size of the unmarked goods sold. For small violationsan entrepreneur can receive a fine, with large ones - up to imprisonment of the guilty person with the complete seizure of unmarked goods.
What does the control chip look like
The image of the identification mark, the procedure for its design and attachment to the product can be seen on the official website of the tax office. The sign is a textile, paper or plastic chip on which a special digital code is applied. It is resistant to a temperature maximum not lower than -40 degrees. The control tag also has an RFID tag. This is the digital code, or product chip.
This label is read by a special device, and the checking inspector can quickly and accurately analyze the compliance of a particular fur product with accepted labeling standards. When passing through customs, the presence of chips allows for a faster border crossing, as the scanner reads the chips on several products at once, packed in one shipping box.
Each manufacturer can independently choose the type of marking chip used and the method of its attachment to the product. The chip can be sewn into the line seam of the product, glued to the lining or hung on a hanger or eyelet. The chip implies its one-time use. Reproduction of the marking chip is not allowed. It is also not allowed to sell fur products with damaged or illegible chips.
Markings vary in color. Green are used for markingproducts made in Russia. Red ones are installed on foreign-made fur products.
The identification mark indicates the name of the product group to which this product belongs, also contains a two-digit numerical designation of the country of manufacture of the fur product and the identification number of the chip. Labels are ordered in Perm at a printing factory.
Procedure for registration in the "Marking" system
Controls the system of marking products made of natural fur by the Federal Tax Service, registration is done there.
- First, every manufacturer must obtain a secure electronic signature.
- Then install the software and log in to the "Marking" portal through the website of the Federal Tax Service.
- Further, the manufacturer describes his products in a special section of the website of the Federal Tax Service. The system of labeling products made of natural fur has been used by manufacturing companies since 2016.
- After that, the manufacturer enters into an agreement with the manufacturer of markings and places an order for the quantity that exactly corresponds to the number of fur products produced.
1С: marking system for products made of natural fur
Chipping can be carried out by the manufacturer of fur goods at their own production by introducing the configuration of the accounting program "1C: marking system for products made from natural fur". Thus, the program "1C: Managementa small firm". The product card on the "Product Marking" page takes into account the chipping process, from where the data can later be uploaded in the form of a detailed report to the website of the Federal Tax Service.
The configuration of the accounting program allows you to take into account the chips that are already equipped with products and their balance in the company's warehouse. Here, through the corresponding tab, you can re-order marking labels at the factory that prints them.
Large fur companies prefer to buy software for their own use, others prefer to rent the software.
Monitoring compliance with the labeling procedure
Product labeling rules apply to absolutely all fur products that are included in the list. Compliance is controlled by inspectors who are representatives of the tax authorities. A civil servant has a special scanner in use, with the help of which the product chip is read. If the marking label does not comply with the established standards, a fine can be imposed not only on the manufacturer, but also on the seller of this product, and the product itself is withdrawn from sale. Customs authorities are equipped with tag readers to prevent unauthorized goods of inadequate quality from entering the country.
People react to tagging
Marking system for products fromnatural fur reviews are very diverse. Some people think that in this way the prices of fur coats will rise sharply. But this statement does not carry an objective reason, since the price of a chip is from 16 to 22 rubles, and the cost of a chip cannot affect the price of a natural fur coat. Some manufacturers see some risk in chipping. But the pilot project did not reveal a significant increase in costs or a sharp decrease in demand for fur coats. On the contrary, now an officially marked fur coat will inspire more confidence in the end consumer.
Specialists of the Russian Fur Union note that counterfeit products that belonged to the economy segment will disappear from the market. Thus, cheap low-quality fur coats will disappear, and their place will be taken by products of the appropriate quality, which cannot be cheap. Thus, the manufacturers of quality products remaining on the market will begin he althy competition among themselves, and gradually the price of a fur coat may be slightly reduced.
