FAQ — RUSSIA EXPORTS

Common questions about exporting to Russia

Import duties to Russia vary based on the vehicle type, engine size, and age of the vehicle. For new vehicles, the duty rate ranges from 15% to 25% of the customs value. For used vehicles (older than 3 years), duties are calculated per cubic centimeter of engine displacement. Additionally, VAT of 20% and a recycling fee apply. Our team provides estimated duty calculations for each specific vehicle before you commit to purchase.

Chery, Haval, Geely, and BYD are currently the most popular Chinese brands in the Russian market. Chery's Tiggo line (especially the Tiggo 7 Pro and Tiggo 8 Pro) and Haval's H6 and Jolion consistently rank among the top-selling models. BYD's hybrid and electric models are gaining traction, particularly in Moscow and St. Petersburg. Russian buyers value ground clearance, robust suspension, and cold-weather features — which most Chinese SUVs offer as standard.

Yes, you will need a licensed Russian customs broker (таможенный брокер) to clear the vehicle through customs. We provide all required Chinese export documentation in advance and can recommend trusted clearing agents at Vladivostok, Novorossiysk, and Moscow terminals. Having the complete documentation package ready before the vessel arrives typically reduces clearance time to 2-5 business days.

ECC (Eurasian Conformity) certification is required for vehicles imported into Russia and other EAEU member states. It certifies that the vehicle meets the technical regulations of the Eurasian Economic Union. For new vehicles from manufacturers with an existing ECC, the certificate can be transferred. For used vehicles or models without an existing certificate, an SBKTS (Single Vehicle Type Approval) can be obtained for individual imports. Our team verifies the certification status of each vehicle before listing.

Yes. Through our logistics network, we can arrange delivery to multiple Russian destinations. Ocean freight serves Vladivostok, Vostochny, Novorossiysk, and St. Petersburg. Rail routes extend beyond Moscow to Yekaterinburg, Novosibirsk, Krasnoyarsk, and other major cities along the Trans-Siberian Railway. For inland destinations, your local clearing agent can arrange truck transport from the arrival port or rail terminal to your specific location.

We accept bank wire transfers in USD, EUR, and CNY. For Russian buyers, we can also process payments through intermediary banks that maintain correspondent relationships with Russian financial institutions. Tether (USDT) is also accepted for certain transactions. Our accounts team will advise on the fastest settlement method for your specific situation, taking into account current transfer timelines and banking restrictions.

Every vehicle exported to Russia undergoes our documented 7-point inspection process: exterior condition, interior condition, mechanical systems (engine, transmission, brakes, suspension), electronics and diagnostics, undercarriage and frame, fluid levels and leaks, and a road test. The entire inspection is recorded with photos and video, and you receive the report before the vehicle is loaded. If the vehicle doesn't meet our standards, we either source an alternative or refund your deposit in full.

A typical timeline looks like this: Day 1–3 — vehicle selection and deposit; Day 4–7 — vehicle procurement and 7-point inspection (with photo/video report shared with you); Day 8–12 — documentation preparation (commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, export customs declaration); Day 13 — container loading at port; Day 14–25 — sea transit to Vladivostok (7–12 days) plus customs clearance (2–5 business days); Day 26 — vehicle ready for pickup at Vladivostok terminal. Total: approximately 3–4 weeks from order to delivery.

Absolutely. Our showroom and inspection facility is located at the Port of Tianjin, about 90 minutes from Beijing by high-speed rail. Russian buyers are welcome to visit, inspect vehicles in person, and even witness the container loading process. We can assist with visa invitation letters, hotel recommendations in Tianjin, and airport pickup from Beijing Capital Airport or Tianjin Binhai Airport. Many buyers from Vladivostok and Moscow take advantage of this before placing bulk orders.

Chinese-manufactured vehicles are left-hand drive (LHD), which is the standard for Russia. There are no additional restrictions or modifications needed. All vehicles we export are factory LHD and fully compliant with Russian traffic regulations. We do not export right-hand drive vehicles from China to Russia.

New vehicles from manufacturer-authorized dealers carry the full factory warranty, which is valid in Russia for brands with an official dealer network (Haval, Chery, Geely, BYD). For used vehicles and parallel imports, we offer a 30-day mechanical warranty covering engine, transmission, and major systems. Extended warranty options are available through our partner network at an additional cost. All warranty terms are documented in the sales agreement before payment.

All vehicles are fully insured during transit — from the moment they leave our Tianjin facility until they arrive at the destination port or terminal. In the rare event of damage, you file a claim with our logistics team, and we handle the insurance process on your behalf. We've maintained a 99.3% damage-free delivery rate to Russian ports since 2022. Our container loading standards (wheel chocks, frame strapping, protective wrapping) exceed standard industry practice.
