Bottled water

1 April 2020 – 1 June 2021—Pilot project for labeling packaged water

1 September 2021—the start of mandatory registration in the Chestny Znak/CRPT serialisation system.

Manufacturers, importers, wholesalers, and retailers that sell packaged water on 2021 September 1 or within seven days of the date of the need to sell packaged water must submit an application for registration in the Chestny Znak/CRPT serialisation system.

2021 December 1—mandatory serialisation for mineral water

Starting from 2021 December 1, serialisation will become mandatory for mineral water.* Mineral water manufacturers and importers must be registered in the Chestny Znak system and describe their products in the Nacionalnyy Catalog. By this time, the processes for ordering and payment for codes, as well as code application on the package and introduction to the market, including reporting, should be fully implemented. The turnover of non-serialised mineral water will become illegal on 2021 December 1.

1 March 2022—mandatory serialisation for other categories of packaged drinking water

By March 2022, manufacturers and importers of any packaged drinking water** must be registered in the Chestny Znak system and describe their products in the Nacionalnyy Catalog. By this time, the processes for ordering and payment for codes, as well as code application on the package and introduction to the market, including reporting, should be fully implemented. The turnover of non-serialised drinking water will become illegal on 2022 March 1.

1 November 2022—mandatory volume and article reporting on the turnover of serialised packaged water

Manufacturers, importers, wholesalers, and retailers need to use electronic document flow when dispatching and receiving goods. Participants should choose an EDI operator and implement, configure, and test electronic document flow with other parties. It must report information about batches of goods to the marking system (the product code and the quantity of the marked goods to be shipped) without specifying the codes that are being moved between them.

From March 1, 2023 – There is an obligation to transfer information to the labeling system on the retail sale of labeled water for all participants in the turnover.

All participants selling any types of packaged water must start scanning codes and report sales information to the system via cash registers. By this time, sales processes must be tested, 2D scanners must be available at cash registers, and cash register software should be upgraded if necessary

From December 1, 2023 – It becomes mandatory to transfer information to the labeling system on the disposal of packaged water for the HoReCa segment and government agencies.

Participants of the turnover in HoReCa segment (restaurants, cafes, hotels) and government agencies (canteens at schools, kindergartens and hospitals), purchasing packagesed water for not selling purposes, must report the disposal of packaged water to the monitoring system. Participants should choose an EDI operator and implement, configure, and test electronic document flow with other parties.

1 March 2025—item reporting on the turnover of serialised packaged water

Manufacturers, importers, wholesalers, and retailers need to use electronic document flow when dispatching and receiving goods. Participants should choose an EDI operator and implement, configure, and test electronic document flow with other parties. It must report information about each serialised item to Chestny Znak/CRPT.

* products with HS codes 2201, including 2201 10, OKPD 2 11.07.11.110

** products with HS codes 2201, including 2201 90 000 0, OKPD 2 11.07.11.120, 11.07.11.130, 11.07.11.140

The manufacturer places an order for unique serial numbers with crypto codes for each produced trade item (SKU) based on the production plan. The serial numbers and crypto codes are emitted by the OMS CRPT system. The manufacturer can choose between direct labelling (and receive back serial numbers from OMS) or specify a printing house as the service provider, in which case the serial numbers will be retrieved directly by the printing house via the MCDN system and pre-printed as Data Matrix codes on the packaging material.

2

In a direct labelling scenario, these serial numbers are encoded into Data Matrix codes and applied to individual consumer packages during production. Alternatively, packaging is performed with pre-printed Data Matrix codes. This process makes the finished product serialised. The packages are placed into cases and other forms of containers and are then further aggregated into pallets. Each level of a container is labelled with a unique SSCC of GS1-128 codes assigned by the manufacturer. Codes are associated in a parent/child structure.

3

Each applied code and the hierarchical structure are stored in the private repository and then further reported to the OMS and GIS MT systems, along with additional attributes, such as the expiry date.

4

After the end of the production of a batch and the quality control procedure, the serialised packages are reported to GIS MT as being available for further sale.

5

At any given point in the supply chain, the product aggregation can change. When this happens, it is reflected in the repository and reported to GIS MT. Likewise, products can be written off for various reasons, such as damages, expiration, or shortages.

6

After the serialised goods are packed in cases and pallets, they are dispatched from the manufacturer to the next supply chain partner. Each serialised container is scanned, and the unique codes are included in a Universal Transfer Document (UTD).

7

The UTD is sent to a certified EDI provider and is then forwarded to the receiver of the shipment.

8

When receiving a serialised shipment, the wholesaler scans each serialised container to verify it against the inbound UTD. Any discrepancies are resolved by additional EDI documents, such as a UCD. Once the UTD is electronically signed by the receiver, the change of ownership occurs. Lastly, the information is pushed to GIS MT.

9

Finally, when the serialised package is sold at a retail store to the end-consumer, the Data Matrix is scanned at the POS. The unique serial numbers are included in the electronic cash receipt, which is sent via a Fiscal Data Operator to GIS MT.

10

Any consumer can scan a Data Matrix code with a phone app to verify the authenticity of the product and learn more about its origin.

The importer places an order for unique serial numbers with crypto codes for each produced trade item (SKU) based on the production/purchase plan. The serial numbers and crypto codes are emitted by the OMS CRPT system. The importer can choose between direct labelling (and receive back serial numbers from OMS and pass them to the labelling facility) or specify a local or foreign printing house as the service provider, in which case the serial numbers will be retrieved directly by the printing house via the MCDN system and pre-printed as Data Matrix codes on the packaging material.

Each applied code and the hierarchical structure are stored in the private repository and further reported by the importer to the OMS and GIS MT systems. Other additional attributes, such as the expiry date, are also prevalent.

4

Alternatively, the serialisation process can take place at a warehouse outside Russia or at the customs warehouse. The full hierarchy has to be reported to GIS MT before the shipment can be customs-cleared.

5

The importer or the customs broker submits a customs declaration (GTD) to the Federal Customs Service. The GTD includes a list of unique container codes. The Federal Customs Service verifies the codes with GIS MT and clears the shipment.

6

In order to make the products available for further sale, the importer reports the unique container codes to GIS MT.

At any given point in the supply chain, the product aggregation can change. When this happens, it is reflected in the repository and reported to GIS MT. Likewise, products can be written off for various reasons, such as damages, expiration, or shortages.
