In regulated markets, digital product marking plays a critical role in improving tax transparency, customs supervision, and market regulation efficiency. By implementing serialized identification using Data Matrix codes and logistics identifiers such as SSCC (Serial Shipping Container Code), governments and enterprises can establish a secure and traceable data ecosystem across the supply chain.

Digital Marking and Its Impact on Tax and Customs Systems

Digital product identification enables authorities to monitor the movement, sale, and distribution of goods more accurately. This approach helps:

• Increase tax and customs revenue accuracy

• Reduce illegal trade and counterfeit products

• Lower regulatory and inspection costs

• Improve visibility of product circulation in the market

Each product is marked with a unique Data Matrix code containing serialized data such as GTIN and Serial Number (SN). At higher logistics levels, pallets and shipping units are identified using SSCC codes, ensuring traceability from individual items to large shipments.

Integration of Sales Data with CRPT

In the Russian regulatory system, sales transaction data is transmitted through OFD (Operator of Fiscal Data) to the CRPT platform, enabling integration between retail operations and the national tax system.

This process includes:

• Scanning of Data Matrix codes during sales transactions

• Automatic reporting of product movement and sales events

• Transmission of data via OFD to CRPT

• Synchronization with tax and customs monitoring systems

Through this integration, authorities can maintain real-time oversight of product circulation and tax compliance.

Role of Data Matrix and SSCC in Regulatory Monitoring

A modern traceability system combines item-level serialization with logistics-level identification:

• Data Matrix Code – enables secure identification of individual products

• SSCC Code – tracks cartons, pallets, and logistics units

• Supports full visibility across manufacturing, warehousing, customs clearance, and retail sales

This structure ensures that goods entering and moving within the market remain transparent and verifiable.
