Effective 1 September 2026, the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) has launched the unified information system for the traceability of goods (“Chestny ZNAK” / “Fair SIGN” expansion), pursuant to the Treaty on the EAEU and Decisions of the EAEU College No. 112 dated 2025. The Kyrgyz State Tax Service (STS) confirmed mandatory participation for all economic operators handling categories subject to mandatory marking: tobacco, footwear, textiles, perfumes, tires, and photographic equipment. The system requires real-time data transmission on production, import, wholesale, and retail turnover via EDI or API integration. Non-compliance results in prohibition of goods circulation and administrative fines under national offense codes.
Key Takeaways
- Universal Marking Scope: All importers and domestic producers of listed categories must register in the GIS MT (Unified State Information System for Marking) and apply unique DataMatrix codes before release for circulation.
- Real-Time Reporting: Every transfer of ownership (B2B, B2C, returns, write-offs) must be reported within 24 hours; the STS will cross-check VAT invoices against marking data to detect carousel fraud.
- Transition Period Ended: The voluntary pilot phase concluded 31 August 2026; from 1 September, unmarked goods are deemed counterfeit and subject to seizure regardless of tax payment status.
