Customs and import context

Customs authority and filings

Imports are cleared by Federal Customs Service of Russia. The importer of record (or its broker) files the declaration; Anxin coordinates but does not act as importer.

Registrations and filings are confirmed with the importer's customs broker.

Import taxes to expect by name: import VAT and any customs duty. Rates and duties are confirmed by the importer's broker for the exact product classification.

Russia is subject to international sanctions measures. Screening is done before any assessment and many requests cannot be accepted.

Languages and documents

Official or main business languages: Russian. Commercial invoice, packing list and battery descriptions should use the product names the importer will declare.

Local-language port names on file (confirm spelling on your documents): Novorossiysk: Порт Новороссийск; Saint Petersburg: Порт Санкт-Петербург; Vladivostok: Порт Владивосток; Vostochny: Порт Восточный.
