FAQ - Preguntas Frecuentes

• Are all products concerned?

  Not all goods need a GOST R certificate; some are exempt. Our local Russian experts can advise you on which of your products need it. They can also help you to obtain the necessary certificates with a minimum of delay.

• What happens if my products are exempt?

  Even if the product to be imported is not subject to mandatory GOST R certification, an importer or exporter can present a GOST R Release Letter to prove that this product type does not require mandatory GOST R certification. This formal confirmation may be requested by Russian customs authorities during customs clearance. It can also be used as a powerful marketing tool, because it independently confirms the quality or technical standard of your product.
