Department for International Trade in Russia is happy to invite you to the webinar “Certification in Russia. Industrial sectors”. If you trade with Russia or only explore this market, you may have a lot of questions. What certificates and declarations do I need? How would I clear the customs? Do I need a Russian partner to do that? Where do I begin and who can help me? We aim to answer some of those questions during the webinar, talking about:

• Customs Union, Technical Regulations, Conformity Certificate vs Declaration, FSS notification and other approval documents.
• Certification of various types of equipment, components, electronics.
• Delivery and customs clearance of equipment for extractive industries.

And you are very welcome to ask your particular questions to our expert speakers:
