Russian Ministry of industry and trade website reported that Ye J Tu Hoff, Secretary of state and vice minister of the Ministry of industry and commerce, announced the results of the questionnaire survey of Russian light industry, clothing, leather and shoes, fur products and other trade associations at the Council meeting of the Eurasian Economic Commission.

In light industry, counterfeit smuggled products account for 35% of Russia's light industrial retail market, with an annual turnover of 910 billion roubles (about 23 billion 300 million US dollars). On clothing trade, 40% of the Russian clothing sales are illegal imports, mainly from China, Poland, Bangladesh and Turkey.

Especially after the establishment of the customs union, due to the weak supervision of the Kazakh border, a large number of clothing products were smuggled into Russia through Hakkas, and counterfeit smuggled products accounted for 20% of the total imports of Russian footwear.

Illegal imports of children's shoes account for 65% of the total sales of Russian children's shoes, while all the children's corrective shoes sold on Russian market are counterfeit smuggled products; only 16% of the imported fur products are subject to customs duties in accordance with the law.

Ye J Tu Hoff said that illegal production and illegal import of light industrial products had posed a serious threat to Russia's domestic industries, reduced the competitiveness of similar products in Russia, caused the loss of state budget revenue, and had adverse effects on consumers' health. We should intensify efforts to crack down on counterfeiting smuggling, implement the trademark system of light industrial products as soon as possible, and protect the intellectual property rights of domestic enterprises.
