Import, customs handling and certification
To understand what conformity documents are necessary for your product, the Russian customs tariff number has to be determined on the basis of the goods description. For the certification itself, a legal entity of member states of the Eurasian Economic Union has to be the applicant in order to submit the application with all the necessary information as well as to provide samples for the testing of the products. A certification service provider can also act as an applicant on behalf (on the basis of the power of attorney) of a foreign producer.
In accordance with Customs Union Code, only a legal entity of member states of the EEU can submit an import declaration for the customs clearance. To prepare the documents for the customs clearance, the EEU customs tariff numbers have to be determined as well as all product descriptions in native language of member states of the EEU. These documents have to be provided to customs together with all commercial documents (invoice, contract etc.) and the import declaration. It can be done by an in-house-declarant (import specialist), a customs broker (who usually requires all the documents already prepared in native language) or an import service provider (who usually takes care of the documents preparation as well as logistics handling).
If the client in EEU does not want to deal with customs clearance, you can request the service of a technical distributor by an import service provider. In this case the technical distributor purchases your goods, imports them in their own name and sells them to your client in EEU.
The advantage of exporting into the EEU is a common customs territory (free trade of goods without customs duties within the union), as well as united customs tariffs, common customs codes and unified non-tariff regulations.

Imports to Russia
When talking about the import of goods into Russia, we are referring to transactions between a foreign seller and a Russian buyer. Import regulations of Russia and the Customs Union specify that the buyer is always fully responsible for customs clearance procedures, carrying out the role of the importer. The legal entity, in whose name customs clearance is taking place, is officially called the “declarant”. Even if a licensed customs representative, better known as a customs broker, takes over the customs formalities, the clearing process will nevertheless be carried out in the name of the declarant.
