When creating a new card, the seller must specify the details of the certificate or declaration. Cards that have already been published will need to be adjusted. Without updated information, they will be blocked.
The Association of e-Commerce Market Participants (AUREK) has identified the categories of sellers who should check the documents first: those who have a certificate issued a long time ago; one document covers a large range of different products; the document was not issued to the seller himself; the composition of the assortment changed after registration; no one checked whether a specific model is included in the scope the certificate; the document came from the supplier, but its status in the registry was not checked.
"And there is another problem: it is usually impossible to get a new certificate in one day. Some of the products will require testing, the work of an accredited laboratory and a certification body. The cost may amount to tens or hundreds of thousands of rubles, and before October 1, the burden on the certification market may increase," warned AUREK.
For importers who trade through marketplaces, the risk is twofold. Goods from the BRICS countries are often accompanied by documents issued by a foreign supplier to a foreign legal entity. Such certificates will not be verified if the seller in the card is a Russian company. In addition, when changing the model or article within the same delivery, the scope of the previously received document may not extend to the new item.
There's not much time left. Document audits, requesting missing information from suppliers, and submitting applications to certification authorities all take several weeks, even in normal operation. As the queue grows before the deadline, the deadlines will inevitably increase.
