Chestny Znak Labelling for Exports to Russia

Turnkey product labelling for Indian manufacturers and exporters

Prepare your goods for the Russian market with comprehensive Chestny Znak labelling support.

Chestny Znak is Russia’s national digital product identification and traceability system. Products covered by mandatory labelling requirements must carry the appropriate identification codes and be recorded in the system.

We coordinate Data Matrix code ordering, label printing and application, warehouse handling and customs documentation. Depending on your supply chain, labelling can be arranged at your manufacturer’s premises, a transit consolidation warehouse or a customs warehouse in Russia.

Why choose us for Chestny Znak labelling?

Reduce the risk of customs delays

Missing labels, unreadable codes or inconsistent product data can lead to delays, penalties and other compliance issues. We check labelling requirements, coordinate correct label application and help prepare your shipment for customs inspection.

Where can your goods be labelled?

At the manufacturer’s premises

We supply your factory with print-ready code files and practical application instructions. Our team coordinates the process remotely and reviews photographic reports before dispatch.

This approach helps manufacturers in India and China incorporate Russian labelling requirements into their production and packing workflow.

At a transit consolidation warehouse

Labelling can be arranged at a partner warehouse along your shipping route, including locations in China, Türkiye, Europe and the CIS.

The warehouse receives the goods, applies the labels, completes any necessary repacking and prepares the shipment for onward transport to Russia.

At a customs warehouse in Russia

If goods arrive in Russia without the required labelling, we assess whether they can be placed under the customs warehouse procedure. Where permitted, we arrange transfer to a suitable facility, coordinate labelling under customs control and prepare the goods for release for domestic consumption.

The appropriate solution depends on the product category, shipment status and applicable customs requirements.
