Russia (EAEU): how the duty on a used car is actually calculated

The duty is per cm³, not a percentage

Russia is in the EAEU, so a used car is not taxed as a flat per-cm³ of value — duty is charged per cubic centimetre of engine displacement, and the rate band rises with the car's age in years. A 2.0L and a 3.0L of the same model therefore land very differently, which is why this page shows duty as "per cm³" rather than a single number.

What has to be in place before it can be registered

A used import needs an ЭПТС (electronic vehicle passport) and a СБКТС (safety conformity certificate), and for many uses the ЭРА-ГЛОНАСС emergency-call device. These are issued in Russia, not in China, so the buyer side arranges them after arrival.

Routes we actually load on

Far-East buyers usually take Vladivostok; European-Russia buyers take St Petersburg or Novorossiysk. The westbound rail corridor through Kazakhstan and Belarus is the other option for inland destinations.

Documents the buyer side arranges

After arrival the ЭПТС electronic passport and СБКТС conformity certificate are issued in Russia, and the ЭРА-ГЛОНАСС device is fitted if required. We supply the Chinese export set — commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, certificate of origin — matched to the invoice numbers your declaration carries.
