We pick the option for your case: who you are, what you ship and what documents you need. Below are all the options we work with.
You are the importer under your own contract with the factory. A broker files the customs declaration in your name. Import VAT is deductible.
An importing company brings the goods in its own name and sells them to you under a Russian contract. No foreign trade contract needed.
The agent buys and imports in its own name at your expense. You pay for the goods plus the agent fee under a transparent report.
Customs clearance in another EAEU country, then into Russia without customs. VAT is paid in Russia under an import application.
Consolidated shipment with customs clearance and closing documents. Cheaper than a dedicated truck, with accounting documents.
Original branded goods on the Ministry of Industry list can be imported without the brand owner's consent. We check whether the brand is listed.
Consolidated shipping paid per kilogram. Fast and cheap, but no customs documents in your name. Not suitable for accounting or resale with invoices.
Parcels for personal use. Within the duty-free allowance no duty is due; above it you pay on receipt.
Three options. Pick the one that is easiest for you. The rate also depends on the order size.
