Russia to Pilot E-Cigarette Labeling System
The Russian government has announced a pilot project for the mandatory labeling of reusable electronic cigarettes and vaping devices, set to begin on July 14, 2025. According to Government Resolution No. 1015, the experiment will cover devices corresponding to customs code 8543 40 000 0 and will run until February 28, 2026.
Participation in the pilot will be voluntary for manufacturers, importers, and distributors, who will receive labeling codes free of charge. The project’s goal is to test a product tracking system to increase market transparency and reduce the share of counterfeit products. The Ministry of Industry and Trade will establish rules for applying and registering in the “Chestny ZNAK” tracking system by August 31, 2025. The results of this voluntary experiment will determine whether the labeling becomes mandatory for all market participants in the future.
