According to a report from TASS on December 1st, the Russian Center for Advanced Technology Development (ЦРПТ) has revealed that as of December 1st, Russia will no longer allow the circulation of unlabeled e-cigarettes, e-liquids, and disposable e-cigarettes. This announcement was made by ЦРПТ, which operates Russia's national labeling system known as the "Honest Sign.

 

Starting from December 1, the final phase of implementing labeling in the tobacco market has come into effect, prohibiting the circulation of unlabeled e-cigarettes, e-liquids, and disposable e-cigarettes," the statement announced.

 

Nowadays, the labeling codes are applicable to five types of tobacco products, including cigarettes, alternative tobacco products, nicotine-containing products, nicotine-containing e-liquid, and electronic nicotine delivery systems (e-cigarettes).

 

Russia has initiated the digital labeling of e-cigarettes and their respective e-liquids, starting on December 15, 2022. Participants in the wholesale and retail trade of e-cigarettes will be required to register within the labeling system as of March 1, 2023.

 

On April 1, 2023, the ban on wholesale trade of products without labels came into effect, and the transmission of retail sales information for labeled products to the system began.
