As the global manufacturing landscape continues to evolve, China's CNC machine toolsExports to RussiaIt is welcoming an unprecedented development opportunity and showing huge market potential. From January to April 2024, China's CNC machine tool exports to Russia reached 199.785 million US dollars, making it the country with the largest export volume.

As a resource-rich and industrial power, Russia's manufacturing industry occupies a key position in the national economy. In the "National Development Goals before 2030" proposed by the Russian government, modern manufacturing has become a key support area, and industries such as machinery manufacturing and aerospace have extremely strong demand for high-precision and high-efficiency CNC machine tools. The following are the key points and processes for China's CNC machine tool exports to Russia:

HS Code

The main HS codes related to CNC machine tools are:

• 84629010.90: Other CNC machine tools of tariff heading 84.62.
• 84629090.90: Other non-CNC machine tools of tariff heading 84.62.

Detailed export process

Pre-trading preparation

1. Market Research：Understand the Russian CNC machine tool market demand, competition situation, policies and regulations, etc., and determine target customers and product positioning.
2. Finding customers：Find potential Russian customers, establish contacts and discuss cooperation.
3. Product Certification：CNC machine tools exported to Russia need EAC certification. Certification materials include the CNC machine tool's own documents, technical manuals, technical specifications, product reports, maintenance manuals and other core materials, as well as exporter qualification certificates, authorized representative certificates, etc.

Contract Signing

1. Business Negotiation: Conduct detailed negotiations with Russian customers on product specifications, prices, quantities, delivery dates, payment methods and other terms, and sign a formal export contract after reaching an agreement.
2. Contract review: Carefully review the contract terms to ensure that the contract content is complete and clear, protect the rights and interests of both parties, and avoid potential risks.

Production and stocking

1. Arrange production：Organize the production of CNC machine tools according to the contract requirements to ensure product quality and delivery time.
2. Quality Inspection：Carry out strict quality inspection during the production process and conduct comprehensive testing before leaving the factory to ensure that the products meet the contract and relevant standard requirements and issue a quality inspection report.

Customs declaration and inspection

1. Prepare documents：Generally includes commercial invoice, packing list, contract, bill of lading, customs declaration, inspection declaration, EAC certificate, etc.
2. Customs declaration: Submit the prepared documents to the Chinese Customs for export declaration. After the customs verifies that the documents and goods are correct, they will be released.
3. Inspection procedures：In accordance with product supervision requirements, it may be necessary to apply for inspection. Submit the inspection application and relevant documents to the entry-exit inspection and quarantine agency. After passing the inspection and quarantine, an inspection and quarantine certificate will be issued.

Transportation and Insurance

1. Choose your shipping method：Choose the appropriate mode of transportation, such as sea transportation, rail transportation, etc., based on factors such as the quantity of goods and delivery time.
2. Handle transportation formalities：Sign a transportation contract with the transport company and arrange the transportation of goods. Provide relevant information about the goods, handle the consignment procedures, and obtain transportation documents such as bills of lading.
3. Buy insurance: Purchase export cargo transportation insurance based on the contract agreement and the value of the goods to ensure the safety of the goods during transportation.

Foreign exchange settlement and tax refund

1. Combined：After the goods arrive in Russia and the customer accepts them, the payment will be collected according to the payment method agreed in the contract.
2. Tax refund declaration: Within the prescribed time, apply to the tax departmentExport tax refundDeclaration procedures. Submit relevant documents, such as customs declaration, export invoice, verification form, etc., and obtain export tax rebate after approval by the tax department.

Certification standards and regulations

Chinese CNC machine tools exported to Russia mainly need EAC certification, and the corresponding technical regulations are as follows:

• CU-TR 010/2011 "Safety of machinery": Regulations are made on the mechanical structure, operating safety, protective devices, etc. of CNC machine tools to ensure that the equipment will not cause harm to personnel and the environment during transportation, installation and use.
• CU-TR 004/2011 "On the safety of low-voltage equipment"：If the electrical system of a CNC machine tool operates within the low voltage range, it must comply with this regulation. It involves the insulation performance, grounding requirements, and protection against electric shock of electrical equipment to ensure the electrical safety of users.
• CU-TR 020/2011 "Technical Specifications for Electromagnetic Compatibility": It stipulates the electromagnetic emission and anti-interference requirements of CNC machine tools to ensure that the equipment will not interfere with surrounding electronic equipment during operation, and at the same time it can work stably in a certain electromagnetic environment.
• If the CNC machine tool is used in an explosion-proof environment, it is also necessary to comply with CU-TR 012/2011 "Safety of equipment used in explosive environments".

Packaging labeling requirements

Packaging Requirements

• Robustness：The packaging should be strong enough to withstand vibration, collision and loading and unloading operations during transportation to prevent the machine tool from being damaged during transportation. It is usually packed in wooden boxes or metal frames, and filled with cushioning materials such as foam and sponge.
• Moisture resistance: Since the product may encounter a humid environment during transportation, the packaging must have good moisture-proof properties.
• Dimensions and weight markings: Mark the dimensions (length, width, height) and weight of the package in a conspicuous position on the outside of the package to facilitate transportation and loading and unloading operations.
• Mark: Including information such as shipper, consignee, destination, contract number, order number, etc. The mark should be clear, accurate and not easy to fade.

Labeling requirements

• Product body logo: The CNC machine tool itself should be clearly marked with basic information such as model, specifications, serial number, manufacturing date, etc. The logo should be located in a conspicuous position on the main body of the equipment and should not be easily worn or faded.
• Safety signs: Mark safety warning signs, such as high voltage danger, prevent electric shock, do not touch, etc., to remind operators to pay attention to safety.
• Operation ID: For operating buttons, switches and other components, clear functional instructions should be marked to facilitate operators to use them correctly.
• Russian language requirement: All signs and instructions should include at least a Russian version to ensure that Russian users can accurately understand the relevant information.
