The Department of State Revenue for the Kyzylorda region informs that each tobacco product must be marked with means of identification (two—dimensional barcode), and this requirement applies to all products, both locally produced and imported. Turnover without labeling is prohibited The sale of tobacco products without means of identification or with labeling violations is prohibited. This can lead to penalties. Liability for violation Fines are provided for violations of labeling rules: - for individuals — up to 50 MCI; - for small businesses — up to 150 MCI; - for medium—sized businesses - up to 200 MCI; - for large companies — up to 500 MCI. Withdrawal and destruction of goods Tobacco products that are not labeled in accordance with the law or that do not meet established standards are subject to seizure and destruction in accordance with the procedure established by law. How to label it correctly? Manufacturers and importers are required to label products before they are imported or put on the market. Retailers withdraw goods from circulation by scanning the identifier on the package through the cash register. The identification code data is included in the cash receipt and transmitted to the fiscal data operator. What is important to remember? Compliance with the rules of labeling and traceability of tobacco products will not only help to avoid fines and sanctions, but also ensure the legality of your business. If you sell tobacco products, make sure that your products fully comply with all legal requirements.
