Imports are subject to import VAT of 22 Prozent (since 1 January 2026, previously 20; reduced 10 Prozent on certain goods), plus the Eurasian Economic Union's common external tariff and, where applicable, excise duties.

Comprehensive sanctions apply from the EU (20th package of 23 April 2026), the United States (OFAC, including Rosneft and Lukoil as SDNs since October 2025, BIS/EAR export controls) and the United Kingdom, covering energy, financial services and dual-use and high-tech goods. Careful sanctions and end-use screening is essential.

Since 2022 Russia has permitted parallel imports, i.e. importing certain branded goods without the rights holder's consent. The mechanism was extended through 2026, though the list of eligible goods is regularly adjusted and was narrowed in 2025.

The largest ports include Novorossiysk on the Black Sea, Ust-Luga and Primorsk on the Baltic, St. Petersburg, plus Vostochny, Vladivostok and Nakhodka in the Far East and Murmansk in the Arctic.

Rail is central: the Trans-Siberian Railway and the Baikal-Amur Mainline (BAM) link the west with the Far East and China. Both are being expanded to absorb cargo flows redirected towards Asia.

The Federal Customs Service of Russia (FTS) is responsible. Clearance is handled electronically under the Eurasian Economic Union Customs Code via the FTS automated information system, with mandatory advance information.
