In exports to Russia, sensitive goods such as medicines and electronic equipment have long faced customs clearance difficulties due to strict supervision and complex certification. In 2026, Russia further strengthened the control of sensitive categories: medicines need to additionally provide health certificates and component analysis reports, electronic equipment is mandatory to supplement RoHS 3.0 directive testing, and illegal customs clearance will face consequences such as cargo confiscation and heavy fines. Many enterprises have suffered cargo detention at ports and missed market opportunities due to unfamiliarity with special supervision rules and lack of compliant certification resources. With 20 years of in-depth experience in Russian customs clearance, Shanghai SBTG accurately solves the pain points of sensitive goods clearance, creating exclusive compliance solutions for medicines and electronic equipment, making sensitive goods customs clearance no longer difficult.
I. Core Pain Points of Sensitive Goods Customs Clearance: Three Barriers Hinder Customs Passing
Complex Certification System: Medicines need to have registration certificates from the Russian Ministry of Health, EAC certification, and Russian translations of Chinese labels simultaneously; in addition to basic EAC certification, electronic equipment also needs to pass electromagnetic compatibility testing and safety certification, and some categories need to provide additional non-military use certificates, with a long certification cycle and cumbersome processes.
Strict Supervision Standards: Pharmaceutical components must comply with the requirements of the Russian Pharmacopoeia, and the information marked on the packaging must include key elements such as validity period, batch number, and storage conditions; electronic equipment labels must clearly mark parameters such as voltage and power, and affix EAC marks and dynamic QR codes that meet specifications. Detailed flaws will trigger cargo return.
Transportation and Declaration Risks: Sensitive goods transportation requires the use of special packaging and compliant vehicles, and some medicines need full cold chain protection; the declaration link needs to accurately fill in HS codes to ensure consistency with the information in certification documents. Information mismatch will directly trigger 100% unpacking inspection, extending the customs clearance cycle.
II. Exclusive Solutions: Accurate Adaptation for Medicines and Electronic Equipment
Exclusive Solutions for Medicines: Sort out pharmaceutical categories in advance, distinguishing between prescription and over-the-counter drugs to formulate differentiated strategies. Assist enterprises in submitting registration applications to the Russian Ministry of Health, prioritize cooperating with EAEU officially recognized testing institutions to complete component analysis, ensuring reports meet Russian customs requirements. Equip a professional cold chain transportation team, use temperature-controlled containers to ensure stable temperature during transportation, and complete cold chain transportation qualification certificates simultaneously. Accurately fill in special HS codes for medicines during declaration, attach complete health certificates, registration certificates, and translations, and strictly follow the special Russian customs regulations for pharmaceutical transit.
Exclusive Solutions for Electronic Equipment: Match corresponding certification processes for different types of electronic equipment, additionally handle radio frequency use permits for communication equipment, and supplement medical device registration certificates for medical electronic equipment. Assist enterprises in completing RoHS 3.0 directive testing to ensure compliance with hazardous substance limit standards. Implement pre-review of label compliance to ensure the EAC mark specifications and parameter labeling fully meet requirements. Rely on the TIR transportation mode, use registered compliant vehicles for transportation to reduce the probability of intermediate inspection, and submit certification documents and test reports simultaneously during declaration to achieve linked information verification.
Full-Process Detail Control: Implement a three-document review system to check the consistency and completeness of certification documents and declaration forms page by page, avoiding information mismatch risks. Communicate with Russian customs in advance to explain the cargo attributes and compliant qualifications, and obtain customs clearance guidelines. Conduct compliant verification of cargo packaging before transportation to ensure it meets sensitive goods transportation standards, reducing customs clearance risks from the source.
