I have learned that the Central Excise Customs (CAC) has called on alcohol suppliers to speed up the process of transferring the labeling of imported alcohol from Latvia to Russia RBC. This threatens to increase the price of imported alcohol by up to 30%.
According to sources, TsAT is unhappy that a significant portion of imported alcohol continues to be labeled outside the Russian Federation. In addition, customs officials emphasized that currently Russian legislation does not impose responsibility for labeling products outside the country.
Until 2021, there was a ban on the import of goods without special federal stamps in Russia. These were implemented either by foreign manufacturers or by partner warehouses. Due to its convenient and developed infrastructure, Latvia has become an “export center” for alcohol and tobacco.
Three years ago, the Russian Federation launched an experiment in labeling goods imported within the country. It was initially held in the Kaliningrad region, but expanded across Russia in 2022.
Before this, Russian manufacturers supported increasing import duties on nutritional supplements. For more information about what changes can await the Russian nutritional supplements market, – In the material “socialbites.ca”.
