When trading smart fitness equipment with Russia, foreign exchange settlement is a key concern for enterprises. Comprehensive agency services offers VTB foreign exchange settlement convenience for the Russian market. VTB Bank is a major Russian financial institution with which we have established strong cooperative relations.
The foreign exchange settlement process typically proceeds as follows: After smart fitness equipment is exported to Russia, the Russian importer makes payment to their VTB Bank account. Upon receiving funds, VTB Bank follows relevant regulations and procedures to settle payments with domestic export enterprises. VTB settlement offers relatively simple processes and advantages in managing exchange rate fluctuations. Compared to other settlement channels, VTB provides more competitive exchange rates, helping enterprises reduce currency conversion costs. For example, in past transactions, one enterprise saved approximately 3% in conversion costs using our VTB settlement service for smart fitness equipment exports, significantly improving profit margins compared to traditional settlement methods.

The demand for smart fitness equipment in the Southeast Asian market is showing a growth trend. When exporting to the Southeast Asian market, the first step is to conduct market research to understand local consumer demand, market competition, and relevant trade regulations.

For example, Indonesia may impose higher import tariffs on certain smart fitness equipment, while Malaysia has strict requirements for product quality standards.
Regarding the export process, after completing production, we will assist enterprises in conducting inspection and quarantine of goods. Smart fitness equipment must comply with the relevant quality standards of Southeast Asian countries, such as safety standards in Singapore and electromagnetic compatibility standards in Thailand.
