Labelling and conformity rules in Russia and other CIS countries can differ and change, and some countries apply common Eurasian Economic Union technical regulations. Confirm current requirements with your customs broker or the relevant authority before ordering.
Russian-language labels
Packs normally need information in Russian: product name, ingredients, allergens, net weight, dates, storage conditions, country of origin and importer details. The factory prints labels, so send the approved text before production.
Documents
Prepare the commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and quality and safety documents; see the export documents checklist. If you supply regions with Muslim populations, ask about halal.
Logistics
Cargo travels by sea through Black Sea ports or overland. Watch temperature in warm seasons and shelf life on arrival.
Range and channels
Retail chains, wholesalers and convenience stores ask for different formats and prices. Define your channel before choosing products and browse the range.
