Russian mandatory marking check and TN VED code lookup

Under the footnote to list 792-r a product must be marked when both the TN VED code and the OKPD 2 code match — except for cases named in the notes to the items. If your product’s OKPD 2 is not in the item’s column, the list does not require marking. Enter OKPD 2 under “OKPD 2 and a check on another date” and the tool checks it against each item. If you do not know your OKPD 2, look in the declaration of conformity or ask the manufacturer.

The list does not split goods by code alone. For example, heading 1806 (chocolate and cocoa products) belongs to “Sweets”, “Dairy products” (glazed curd bars and milk-based desserts), “Dietary supplements” and “Sports nutrition”: which one is yours depends on the state registration certificate, the composition and the purpose. That is why the tool asks clarifying questions — each answer drops groups that do not apply. If that is not enough, narrow the code to 10 digits: each subcode in the TN VED tree has its own answer.

You typed a short code — say, four digits — while the list names longer codes inside that heading. So part of the heading is marked and part is not. The tool shows the subcodes of the heading and flags which of them are marked — pick the one in your declaration or certificate.

The code is set by the declarant — whoever imports the goods or files the declaration of conformity. It is in the customs declaration, the declaration of conformity or the certificate; for Russian manufacturers — in the product documents. The name search here is a hint: it shows TN VED headings with official descriptions and the EEC notes. In a dispute with customs you can request a preliminary classification ruling from the FCS.

Under the professional income tax — no: the self-employed may not sell goods subject to mandatory marking (Federal Law No. 422-FZ, Art. 4(2)(1)). On a patent you cannot sell medicines, footwear and natural fur items at retail (Tax Code Art. 346.43); with other marked goods the patent works, but the marking duties stay the same. The role plan in the tool shows this for your group.

The check date is under the answer. The list comes from the official publication of the orders on the legal information portal, TN VED codes from the Eurasian Economic Commission’s files, and group dates are checked by hand against the marking operator’s calendar. The government changes dates several times a year, so before a major decision confirm the date against your group’s marking rules.
