Why Imported Products Need Data Matrix Scanning
Many countries now require Data Matrix codes on imported goods. Russia (Chestny ZNAK), EU (FMD for medicine), and others use these codes to track products from factory to store.
If you import products without scanning these codes:
Customs delays – shipments held for inspection
Fines – selling unmarked products is illegal
Lost shipments – returned or destroyed
Scanning the code is not optional. It‘s the law.
How Import Traceability Works (Simple Version)
Factory in China makes product
↓
Factory prints Data Matrix code on each package
↓
You scan code when goods arrive at your warehouse
↓
System records: product arrived, date, batch number
↓
You sell product to store → scan again
↓
Customer buys product → can scan code to check if real
Every scan creates a record. Customs can see where every product came from and where it went.
The Problem – Not All Scanners Read Data Matrix Codes
Data Matrix codes are 2D barcodes – they look like a small square with dots. Regular laser scanners (1D) cannot read them.
| Scanner Type | Reads Data Matrix? | Use For |
|---|---|---|
| Laser scanner (1D) | ❌ No | Old-style barcodes only |
| 2D imager scanner | ✅ Yes | Data Matrix, QR, PDF417, all barcodes |
You need a 2D scanner to read Data Matrix codes. XTIOT makes these.
