Can Goods Be Imported from China Without Risk?

Importing goods from China creates significant opportunities for businesses. Properly organized supply chains help reduce risks and preserve profitability.

What Risks Can Arise When Importing from China, and How Can They Be Avoided?

1. Documentation Risks

An incorrect HS code or the absence of an EAEU certificate or declaration of conformity can delay cargo at customs for 2–4 weeks. Fines start at RUB 50,000.

Our approach:

Our analytics team checks every document before shipment
We guarantee that all documents comply with customs and legal requirements

2. Risk of Defects and Nonconformity

According to statistics, up to 15% of first shipments from an unfamiliar supplier contain defects.

Our solution:
