Overview

For years only tobacco, footwear and medicines were marked. In November 2025 the list grew by four groups: beer, motor oils, light industry products and saiga derivatives. Motor oils and beer started in February 2026; light industry and jewellery follow from December 2026, more apparel in October 2027.

If you supply this market

  1. Get GS1 product numbers (GTIN) for every SKU and register with the national operator: IS MPT.
  2. Order a code for every unit from the operator before production.
  3. Print and verify every code on the line; aggregate into cases and pallets where the product group requires it.
  4. Report the goods into circulation before they are sold.

Typical steps for this type of regime. The exact rules are in the sources. Choosing equipment: printing methods.
