When importing products into Russia from abroad, only an importing company registered in that country can obtain a certificate.
Foreign companies not registered in the Russian Federation or the Customs Union countries cannot be recipients of the certificate.
How much does it cost and for how long can the certificate be issued?
The cost of issuing certificates starts at $150.
The exact amount depends on what documents the entrant already has (test report).
The type of certified products is also important. The validity of the EAC can be from one to five years. This means that it is produced according to the formulation established by the manufacturer, with the declared composition and in compliance with the agreed technologies. If the manufacturer decides to make any changes, he must notify the certification center about it.
