The Russian government is preparing systemic changes in the regulation of online commerce. The Cabinet of Ministers instructed to develop a mechanism that will allow verifying the authenticity and legality of goods on marketplaces through customs clearance data. The new initiative is aimed at combating counterfeiting and "gray" imports, the share of which in e-commerce continues to grow.

The Ministry of Industry and Trade proposed to oblige marketplaces to check the labeling and legality of goods even in sellers' warehouses. What does this mean for the market and business on the sites.

Blockchain ceased to be a theory and began to bring real benefits to logistics. We understand how distributed technologies help track shipments, combat counterfeiting, and automate delivery processes.

The Government of the Russian Federation has approved amendments to the acts to improve management and strengthen the fight against the illegal importation and trafficking of counterfeit products. The amendments relate to labeling and control rules.

Starting from September 1, 2025, a new wave of digital labeling of goods in the Honest Sign system will start in Russia. Several categories fall under the mandatory registration in the system at once: hot drinks, sweets and sports nutrition. The innovations are designed to make the markets of these products more transparent and reduce the proportion of counterfeiting, but businesses are already preparing for additional costs and cost increases.
