Entering the Russian market for a Chinese company

Use this guide before requesting a proposal: it helps gather comparable source data and identify constraints early.

What to prepare

  1. 01

    Define the objective: sales, local production, procurement, investment or a joint project.

  2. 02

    Compare presence models: export, agent, distributor, Russian LLC, branch or project partnership.

  3. 03

    Review product classification, certification, labelling, import restrictions and warranty model.

  4. 04

    Choose a region based on customers, logistics, staff, infrastructure and qualified providers.

  5. 05

    Build a financial model covering launch costs, working capital, tax, logistics and delay allowance.

  6. 06

    Record the roadmap, owners, decisions and documents in Russian and Chinese.

Common mistakes

  • Forming a company before validating the sales model and permits.
  • Selecting a region only by cost without checking logistics and infrastructure.
  • Starting negotiations without a bilingual authority and decision list.
