I. Core documents and certification requirements

1. Basic trade documents

• Commercial Documents: Russian - language contracts, invoices, and packing lists are required, clearly stating product models, technical parameters, and amounts, which serve as the basis for customs price review.
• Certificate of Origin: Tariff reduction can be enjoyed through the RCEP origin rules. A FORM E certificate is required, and local value - added must be ensured to exceed 40%.
• Transport Documents: For sea transportation, original bills of lading are required, and for air transportation, electronic waybills are required. It is recommended to choose the China - Russia freight train to reduce the transportation cycle and cost.

Compulsory certification

EAC certification:

As a pass to enter the Eurasian Economic Union, it must comply with the Technical Regulations on Low - voltage Equipment (TR CU 004/2011) and the Regulations on Electromagnetic Compatibility (TR CU 020/2011), covering indicators such as safety performance and electromagnetic radiation.

Certification in Special Fields:

• Fire protection certification: It involves material combustion grade testing and must comply with the Russian Fire Safety Law;
• Hygiene Certification: For equipment in contact with the human body (such as smart bathroom appliances), a health impact assessment report issued by the health and quarantine department is required;
• FSS/FBI approval: For equipment with encryption functions (such as smart cameras), it must pass the review of the Federal Security Service of Russia.

Preparation of Technical Documents

• Provide product manuals, circuit diagrams, test reports (such as EMC, reliability tests), and ISO system certificates. All documents need to be translated into Russian and notarized.
• For wireless devices, a radio frequency use permit and FSB encryption certification need to be submitted.

II. Regulatory Compliance and Packaging Labels

Import Regulations and Taboos

• Prohibited Products: Clearly avoid sensitive product categories such as military - use equipment and products made from endangered species.
• Tariff Policy: Differentiated tax rates are applied according to product categories. For example, high - end home appliances have higher tariffs. It is recommended to use free trade zone policies or bonded warehousing to reduce costs.

Packaging and Labeling Requirements

• The Russian sign.: The product and its packaging must be labeled with Russian names, models, and usage instructions. The use of religiously sensitive patterns such as the six - pointed star is prohibited.
• International Symbols: Fragile, moisture - proof, and other markings must comply with ISO standards. Lithium - battery products need to be labeled with the Class 9 dangerous goods label.
• Environmental requirements: Comply with the EU RoHS directive to ensure that the content of hazardous substances such as lead and mercury is compliant.

III. Efficient Export Solutions

Full - chain Compliance Management

• Certification Planning: Start the EAC certification 12 - 18 months in advance and choose a local agency recognized by Russia (such as the Russian Certification Center) to shorten the cycle.
• Digital tools: Use the AI classification system to match HS codes to avoid inspection risks caused by incorrect tax numbers.

Logistics and Customs Clearance Optimization

• Multimodal transport: Adopt the China - Europe freight train + local distribution model, which saves 15 days compared to traditional sea transportation. At the same time, apply for the railway deferral policy to ease the tax - payment pressure.
• Bonded warehousing: Set up bonded warehouses in Moscow and St. Petersburg to achieve in - country but outside - customs stockpiling and reduce inventory costs.

Localized Services and Risk Prevention

• After - sales Service Network: Cooperate with local service providers to provide 48 - hour on - site repair and stock up on vulnerable parts (such as sensors, batteries).
• Protection of intellectual property: Complete trademark registration at the Russian Patent Office to avoid infringement risks; at the same time, purchase product liability insurance to cover potential legal disputes.

Conclusion

In the future, with the deepening of China - Russia digital economy cooperation, intelligent and green products will become new growth points. Continuously paying attention to policy dynamics and strengthening localized operation capabilities will be the core strategies for enterprises to win in the Russian market in the long term.
