For the first time, Rosaccreditation suspended the validity in Russia of documents issued by Armenian certification bodies — ARMTEST LLC and ARM-TEST LLC. We are talking about five documents: four certificates for light industry products and one declaration for food products. The reason is the lack of evidence of the importation of samples and the failure to provide test reports. This is the 11th certification body of the EAEU countries, whose documents have been discontinued in Russia since Feb

Starting from August 1, 2026, a ban on the sale of goods of the fourth wave of the expansion of labeling of light industry — without "Honest Mark" codes - comes into effect. There is one month left until this date. The remains of unmarked goods produced or imported before the entry into force of the requirement must be marked and put into circulation before December 1, 2026. For importers of clothing and textiles, this is the last chance to restore order without fines.

Indian companies have tripled purchases through the Belarusian Universal Commodity Exchange: by the end of 2025, the amount of transactions reached almost $5 million. Materials for light industry have become the driver, and in 2026, the parties are discussing expanding the range, including food products. For foreign economic activity, this is an enhancement of the "exchange" channel with a more transparent price and documents.

In February, Wildberries & Russ is launching a program to support the Russian light industry with the support of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, and shoe manufacturers will be the first participants. They are promised to reduce sales fees and storage costs, as well as provide additional development tools. Fundamentally, the measure does not apply to resellers — the bet is on real production.

We understand why we need certification of clothing and footwear in accordance with TR CU 017/2011, how the procedure works and how to avoid risks when entering the EAEU market.
