What does a Russian importer need to check?
- Vehicle conformity under the EAEU technical regulation on wheeled vehicles (TR CU 018/2011)
- Customs duties and the recycling fee (utilisation fee), which depend on engine size, age and importer type
- Emission class and documentation required for registration
- Applicable sanctions and export-control rules — the buyer is responsible for compliance
The regulation and conformity procedures are published by the Eurasian Economic Commission. Confirm current duty and fee rates with your customs broker before ordering.
Which A3 suits the Russian market?
The 2026 A3L Limousine offers sedan proportions and a long cabin, while the 2025 A3 Sportback suits city buyers. Both use the 1.5 TFSI petrol engine.
Communication in Russian
Kunta, our B2B Solution Manager, reads and writes Russian, which makes specification and document checks easier for Russian-speaking buyers.
Import rules — age limits, conformity certificates, duties and fees — differ by country and change over time. Each market page lists what to check; always confirm current requirements with your customs broker or the relevant authority before ordering.
