The use of excise stamps allows you to quickly find on sale goods that are not paid by the excise tax (that is, for which the state did not receive the necessary money to the treasury). Excise stamps guarantee the buyer not only quality, but also the quantity (correctly indicated volume) of the goods. Excise stamps in our country appeared in accordance with the decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of April 14, 1994 "On the introduction of excise duty stamps on the territory of the Russian Federation." Food alcohol, wine and vodka products, tobacco and tobacco products imported into Russia are subject to mandatory labeling. Sale of these goods without excise duty stamps on the territory of our state since January 1, 1995 is prohibited.

Modern excise stamps have been manufactured in Russia since 2005 - this is the third issue especially protected from falsification. They are made in four ways of printing on self-adhesive paper with a protective thread. Under the adhesive layer there is a grid and a pattern, which have at least two types of protective fibers and chemical protection. Stamps with the inscription "Alcoholic beverages over 9 to 25%" are issued in gray-red tones, with the inscription "Natural wines" in green-yellow tones, with the inscription "Wines" - in lilac-green tones, with the inscription "Champagne and sparkling "- in yellow-blue tones, with the inscription" Alcoholic beverages over 25% "- in pink-orange tones.

Holographic image is applied to alcohol brands. Excise stamps have a space free from images and text for applying information about the products they mark. In addition, it is worth paying attention to background grids and elements with color transitions of paints in these grids.

In November 2002, new designs of excise stamps for marking tobacco and foreign-made tobacco products were approved. Modern tobacco stamps are printed in 20 × 44 mm format on white paper with a three-tone watermark in the form of a star with three rays. The paper contains red protective fibers and green fibers that glow under the influence of ultraviolet radiation. From the front side over the entire area (except for the side stripes and the central part with the image of the coat of arms of our country), the marks are shaded with thin dashed lines - this protects against photocopying and, consequently, counterfeit goods. The emblem and the text with the repeating words "Russia import" are printed in black ink in the central part of the stamps. The inscriptions on the stamps are also made in black paint. In the upper part of the stamps above the frame in the center is written “Excise stamp”. A series of stamps consisting of letters and numbers is vertically applied to the right of the frame. To the left of the frame stands vertically the designation "CIS", "SEZ" or "Import" (depending on the country of manufacture of tobacco products). Also indicated is the type of tobacco product - filter cigarettes; cigarillos; non-filter cigarettes, cigarettes; cigars smoking tobacco; pipe tobacco.
note
Excise stamps of the 2005 model, unlike all previous issues, are applied when labeling alcoholic beverages not on the neck of the bottle, but on its side. When you open the vessel, you can try to leave the brand intact. Empty containers are often reused on the illegal market. In September 2007, a bill was submitted to the State Duma for consideration, which proposed returning excise stamps to the neck of bottles. The amendments were expected to enter into force on January 1, 2009.
