The Public Consumer Initiative conducted an of compliance with the requirements for goods in the regions of the Russian Federation, and after that applied to the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation with a demand to counterfeit to***co, shoes and perfumes from sale.

The study covered all subjects of the Russian Federation, except for the newly joined regions. In each, an equal number of entities selling products of the specified categories was studied, and the facts of the sale of without labeling were recorded. The sample included both classic stores (offline) and online .

It turned out that the leader in terms of the volume of illegal products for all three categories is the Kostroma region. If to consider each category of goods separately: most of all counterfeit shoes are sold in the Jewish Autonomous Region and the Nizhny Novgorod Region. Novgorod and Smolensk regions lead in illegal perfumes, and Krasnodar and Bryansk regions - in to***co products.

It is noted that in general, counterfeit products were detected in all regions of the country. In this regard, the head of the Public Consumer Initiative, Oleg Pavlov, asked the Russian government to resume the practice of unscheduled business inspections.

Social activists also argue that due to the introduction of a labeling system, most regions successfully prevent the sale of illegal products of the categories under study, however, in a number of subjects, its percentage remains quite high.

Without any doubt, it is necessary to remove illegal products from sale, as they can threaten the health of citizens. In addition, such products cause significant damage to the economy. Taxes are not paid on their sale, but due low prices for such products, it forces out honest who work according to the law.

The TKM team, in turn, supports the initiative to resume the procedure for business inspections, since such activity helps not only protect citizens from potentially dangerous products, but also allow the country's budget to increase revenues.

On a daily basis, together with the and authorities, we conduct our own inspections of suspicious shops/warehouses/factories, as well as the online market, in order to prevent the sale of counterfeit goods, ensure the protection of consumer health and preserve the image of our clients.

Essity company is one of the world leaders in the field of hygiene and health products. Some of the well-known of the company are Zewa, Libresse and Libero.

The Swedish of personal care products Essity sold its Russian business for $ 117 million, in connection with this, the company left the Russian market.

To date, the business belongs to LLC "New technologies", the founder of which is Igor Shilov, he owns 94.5% in the company, and in addition, he is the main owner of the network of clinics "European Medical Center". The Swedish company announced its from the Russian market in April last year. During this time, its Russian assets have depreciated by about $ 166 million.

According to the Ministry of Industry and Trade, after the transfer of management to Russian auctioneers, Essity will continue to work, which will not affect the range and volume of products, as well as the price.

Essity continues to care about its and honor their needs, regardless of the transfer of business.

Despite the withdrawal of companies from the Russian market, they nevertheless try to transfer assets to Russian enterprises in order to ensure that consumer demand is met.

Completely withdrawn foreign companies provide an opportunity for local brands to occupy the appropriate niche and provide buyers with domestic quality products.

Over the past two years, after , approximately 36 have returned to Russia, including clothing, shoes, household goods and children's goods. This happened despite the resignation statements and was often associated with the overbooking of brands by players from friendly countries such as the UAE and China, or by Russian managers. But the restructuring could not affect the of such well-known companies as Inditex, Uniqlo and H&M. To date, Uniqlo and H&M are closed, and Inditex, which owns one of the popular Zara stores, decided the situation differently despite its departure. The Dubai company Fashion And More Management DMCC managed to buy the Russian assets of Zara, and now you can buy the goods you are familiar with on the Russian market under the new brand "MAAG".

Once again, we would like to draw your attention to the fact that many foreign brands producing goods in Russia have not stopped their production, but have only changed their . This was stated by Russian President Vladimir Putin at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF date June 14-17). He noted that these goods, in fact, are Russian, but with a foreign logo, while bringing profit to the country. The President also stressed that Russia did not take measures to evict foreign companies from the Russian market, but left them the right to make decisions independently. Thus, the country continues to cooperate with famous world brands, while supporting the and the economy.

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Industry and Trade Denis Manturov noted that foreign companies that have ceased their activities in Russia are often interested in continuing to work in the country or in finding conditions for returning in the future. In this regard, President Vladimir Putin said that a policy is needed to promote domestic brands, since Russian goods have excellent characteristics and are very often not inferior to foreign .

Despite the difficulties and withdrawal of some companies from the Russian market, manufacturers are trying to find solutions and are coming back again. In the current situation, we have even more often started to encounter counterfeit of bygone brands, and to this day we and our copyright holders are doing everything possible to minimize counterfeit on the market.

The changes both in the world and in the work of the authorities over the past couple of years are simply enormous. The geopolitical situation for Russia has changed rapidly, which implies the use of new approaches to work and stimulates the search for new solutions.

Visita Shidaev, Senior Intellectual Property Rights Specialist for Customs Regulation of the TKM team, shared his vision on changes in the work of customs due to , on monitoring products and identifying goods and on the introduction of parallel imports and its impact on the work of customs authorities.

The introduction of parallel for the Russian Federation has become a necessary measure - a tool for managing economic sanctions, as well as protecting business, the market and the country's economy as a whole.

As for the customs authorities, it would seem that the introduction of parallel imports should have facilitated and unloaded them, but, as the data provided in the statistics of customs authorities on the official website of the FCS, attempts to import counterfeit products under the guise of parallel imports have only intensified.

For example, from April to December 2022, the number of products seized by our importers or during customs control was, on average, 50% more than in the whole 2021 without any legislative innovations.

In order to protect and track the import of we use the customs register of objects of intellectual property of Russia (TROIS RF). The inclusion of a trademark in the TROIS provides control by the customs service of the import of counterfeit goods and helps to stop it already at the border, before the goods enter the market. We are talking here about almost all categories of goods that we represent: alcoholic beverages, clothing and footwear, cosmetic products, etc.

Also, we hold seminars and webinars for customs authorities with training sessions on identifying signs of counterfeit products of right holders, who are represented and protected by TKM LLC.

Moreover, TKM issues permits for the import and export of products, coordinating this with the right holders in order to stop the actions of unscrupulous organizations, carefully checking their documents (contracts, invoices, agreements).

The opponent is an entrepreneur from the Republic of Bashkortostan, with the same trademark "Planeta" for wholesale and retail stores. Due to the same type of name, we are talking about compensation.

Most often, unscrupulous offer fake clothes and shoes on (54% of respondents answered this way), less often, but still there is a fake jewelry (8%).

The INFOLine agency stated that in 2022, online trading exceeded its performance due to marketplaces (almost 40%). Analysts argue that the growth is associated with counterfeit trade, amid restrictions on supplies to Russia. The second reason why people began to treat fakes loyally is the decrease in the purchasing power of the population.

Check the goods upon receipt, check whether it is legal by scanning the code through the Chestnyy znak app. We also recommend buying goods from trusted sellers, requesting a quality certificate for the goods, and before making a purchase - check the list of official on the manufacturer's website.

Let's figure out together exactly how operate online, and how to deal with it.

For example, , intermediaries between the seller and the buyer, very often encounter counterfeit and unmarked goods. First of all, the fault for placing counterfeit products on the site and selling them will lie with the seller himself, and then - on the online platform, the task of which is to monitor offers of selling fakes and block them.

Counterfeit continues to be present on the online market to this day, but its share is becoming smaller due to a well-coordinated information system and artificial intelligence (AI). However, it should be borne in mind that is based on certain standardized indicators, so it is important not to rely only on its help in detecting counterfeit goods.

In 2022, the share of fake car parts on the Russian market doubled (reaching 28%). Today, for a number of brands, the share of counterfeit goods already exceeds 50% of the market. Every fourth auto part turned out to be fake.

Since March 2023, shortages, sanctions and increased demand have played in such a way that there has been an increase in prices for spare parts. Owners have no choice to replace the car or its parts due to lack of materials. Taking the opportunity, filled the market with cheap and low-quality fakes. Most often it is counterfeit , the share of which is about 31%.

In general, the volume of production of European and Japanese vehicles for 1.5 years has decreased by about 3-10 times, but at the same time the number of offers from is growing (by 3 times), which increases the risk of selling counterfeit and low-quality goods.

On the other hand, vehicles of Korean, Chinese, Russian production show a worthy result, namely the expansion of the range and the growth of production.

The problem of combating counterfeiting is very acute. For our part, we recommend carefully checking the goods to exclude , since poor-quality products can lead to serious and costly to the car, and even worse, damage to health.

RUSSIANS WERE WARNED ABOUT THE HIGH PROPORTION OF FAKE AUTO PARTS ON THE MARKET

The departure of foreign companies caused a localization boom, which the Russian market has not yet encountered. In general, localization is the of a product, taking into account the preferences of the target audience.

The other day it became known that is also going to localize the brand Activia under the new name AktiBio in Russia.

“Products under the AktiBio brand will be produced to the same high quality and safety standards, with the same taste characteristics, at the same production facilities,” - the company said. However, as it turns out, the product will get a new name and a new design for the Russian .

The Danone press service explained this decision: brand localization will allow resuming investment in the development and support of the products industry in Russia. Such a move will have a significant impact on the improvement of the entire category of modern dairy products.

Nevertheless, if to delve deeper into the issue of localizing the Activia brand, it is possible to come to the conclusion that such an approach is beneficial not only for the Russian dairy industry, but also for the French company Danone itself. The fact is that the company does not want to leave the Russian market, as well as lose profits in large volumes.

Let's look at the development of the situation from the very beginning: in April 2022, the media, citing a source, wrote that Danone plans to stop using its own global brands in the Russian market, including Actimel, Activia, Alpro and Danone.

In October 2022, Danone announced object to transfer control over the production of dairy and plant products in Russia - subject to the possibility of a buyback and retaining up to 25 percent in the business and positions on the board of directors.

In February 2023, representatives of the dairy industry said that the company had selected about 20 applicants for its Russian assets.

But at the beginning of July 2023, it became known that the process of transferring was being delayed by Danone itself, which did not want to leave the Russian market. In its annual report, the company noted that the sale of business in Russia could lead to a write-off of up to a billion euros.

At the moment, Danone is one of the major international companies that continue to work in Russia.

The conclusion is simple: the Russian market is a truly promising platform for doing and developing business with opportunities for growth, improvement, government support and other advantages. It seems that most foreign brands have already understood this.

Last year, the well-known Swedish brand announced its departure from the Russian market. The company managed to create a unique concept, which consisted of design and functionality, affordability, self-service and responsibility to the environment. All these factors allowed IKEA to successfully compete in the market of and household goods.

For Russia, IKEA's departure in March 2022 coincided with an increase in demand for furniture products, and it also became an opportunity to enter the market of products.

According to the RBC website for October 2022, the construction boom forced Russians to invest more actively in repairs, which led to an increase in prices. Since the beginning of 2022, bathroom mirrors (18.2%), dining tables (12.5%) and stools (12.3%) have risen the most.

The Russian company Hoff took the leading position in the product segment, which in March-September 2022 increased furniture sales by 30% compared to the same period last year (according to the RIA Novosti website), which is mostly due to the departure of foreign brands, including IKEA.

Despite the of the beloved store, the former IKEA manufacturers managed to create an on the territory of the Russian Federation under the Good Luck (Gud Lakk- transcription from Russian, translation into English throughout the text - for readers) brand in Moscow thanks brand in Moscow due to the joint efforts of 14 manufacturers who previously supplied their products to Russian IKEA, namely Novus Industry, Mebelain and Delcom factories. The first point started its work on July 1.

The company plans to expand and launch more than 1 000 stores in the country, which, perhaps, will lead to an increase in the number of customers, but whether the IKEA analogue increases the number of defects and whether the of products deteriorates - an open question remains.

Good Luck on its official website states that "due to the Good Luck project, you have the opportunity to buy those very favorite products. Yes, they have changed their appearance and names a little, but the design, quality, ease of purchase and ease of assembly — all this has remained at the same height. And the names are now easier to pronounce and remember."

In the consumer's understanding, an analogue is a change of the brand name, but not the appearance itself. It is possible that this may scare off a potential customer, because he comes for a specific product, a specific type and known manufacturer.

For reference, Good Luck is a brand-new project that was created specifically for Russia and Belarus. The company's goal is to get on the same level with the Swedish giant that left Russia, but at the same time avoid a complete repeat.
