Labeling Requirements in Russia

Russia has a balanced consumer-friendly but relatively strict labeling requirements.Generally speaking, any industrially produced products must also be industrially labeled in Russian.

The nature of mandatory labeling varies and depends on the product.
You should consult d'Artes for more information. We will gladly explain what particular label is required for your product, whether or not it needs any additional accompanying documentation (as is the case of food additives or dietary supplements, and of course absolutely all medical preparations), and how it should be structured. For a fee we will design required label for your product or product line.

Russian Civil Code (article 495) mandates that the seller and manufacturer provide consumer with adequate information through labeling and if there is a need also through accompanying documentation. There are several separate laws and regulations covering mandatory labeling requirements. Russian labeling law is actually in compliance with existing EU directives and does not deviate from established European practice.

In brief, absolutely any product, from construction nails to optical equipment, from laundry detergent to air gun pellets, must have the following label in Russian language.

Name of the product
Description
Standards and industrial norms with which the product is in compliance (hence besides mandatory Rosstandard the product label must state whether other norms are met, such as ISO)
Harmonized schedule number
Customs code
