The pilot project for labeling auto parts, which started on July 1, 2024, is gaining momentum. Following lubricants and technical fluids, the Ministry of Industry and Trade plans to introduce “Chestny ZNAK” labeling for all other categories of spare parts.
Before the start of the experiment, the share of counterfeit and fake motor oils exceeded 60%. However, labeling will only partially solve this issue: the movement of goods will be monitored, but not their quality. In this regard, the Ministry of Industry and Trade also plans to launch a registry of bona fide importers, which will include suppliers complying with both product quality and import requirements.
Starting November 1, 2024, it is no longer legally possible to purchase car tires without “Chestny ZNAK” labeling. By February 28, 2025, the list of auto parts subject to mandatory labeling will expand significantly.
