How can footwear products meet the requirements of the Chestny ZNAK (Честный ЗНАК) system? For footwear sold in the Russian market, mandatory compliance requirements include certification, classification, and marking standards, with the mandatory marking officially launched on July 1, 2019 in accordance with Russian government regulations.

First, certification requirements: adult footwear requires an EAC Declaration to confirm compliance with Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) technical regulations, while children’s footwear requires a stricter EAC Certification, which includes factory audits to ensure product safety. Second, classification by TN VED codes: footwear is categorized into 6403 (leather uppers) and 6405 (textile uppers) to standardize traceability management.

In terms of marking requirements: Each shoe box must be affixed with a Chestny ZNAK Data Matrix code, which contains encrypted product information to achieve full-process traceability. Importers must order these Data Matrix codes through the CRPT (Center for Research and Perspective Technologies) system and activate them during customs clearance to ensure legal market access. Additionally, SSCC codes (Serial Shipping Container Codes) are required for footwear shipping units, used to track and manage batches of footwear during logistics and distribution, complementing the Chestny ZNAK traceability system.

To help footwear-related enterprises (manufacturers, importers, distributors, and retail stores) fully comply with these requirements and smoothly enter the Russian market, XTIOT provides professional scanning solutions with XT8601B, XT8161 & XTS03 Series Industrial Scanners, with targeted advantages for the footwear industry:

- Full Compliance with Footwear Marking Standards: Fully support scanning and decoding of Chestny ZNAK Data Matrix codes for all footwear (adult and children’s), as well as SSCC codes for shipping units, perfectly matching the mandatory requirements for TN VED 6403 and 6405 footwear categories.

- High-Speed & High-Accuracy Scanning: Equipped with high-performance 2D scanning engines — XT8161 reaches up to 86 scans per second (ideal for retail checkout and logistics), XT8601B supports high-speed batch scanning (suitable for footwear production lines and warehouse batch management), and XTS03 ensures 100% decoding accuracy, even for small or high-density Data Matrix and SSCC codes on shoe boxes.

- Seamless CRPT System Integration: Support real-time data upload to the CRPT system, including scanned Data Matrix and SSCC code information, helping importers complete code activation during customs clearance and realize full-process traceability from production, import, logistics to retail.
