Duty & tariff treatment for Russia

Russia applies the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) Common Customs Tariff, and Sri Lanka is a beneficiary of the EAEU’s tariff-preference scheme for developing countries, reduced duty on covered goods, so confirm whether your HS line is included. Russia is one of the world’s largest buyers of Ceylon-Tee.

The EAEU preference requires a valid proof of origin (Form A / origin declaration) for covered goods.

Always confirm the current rate. Tariffs and preference schemes change. Check your exact HS line in the EAEU / Russia customs tariff, and estimate duty + freight + insurance together with our Rechner für die Gesamtkosten. We don’t publish line-item tariff figures because they move and depend on your precise product and origin proof.

Import requirements for Russia

Typical requirements for bringing Black Pepper into Russia include:

  • EAEU conformity (EAC declaration/certificate) and Russian/EAEU labeling for food products.
  • A Pflanzengesundheitszeugnis (cleared by Rosselkhoznadzor) for plant products.
  • Confirm current banking, payment and sanctions arrangements before contracting. These have changed and can affect settlement and logistics.

Your exporter prepares the commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading and certificate of origin; see our Checkliste für Exportunterlagen for the full set.
