Russia and the EAEU
Certificate, declaration or registration - according to regulations, type of product and scheme.
Official source ↗Certification and permits
Confirm your product’s right to be sold before it reaches the border.
We identify product and country requirements before purchase and shipment, coordinating tests, documents and labelling to reduce delays and repeat costs.
Product
Intended use, composition, model and technical specifications determine the requirements.
Prepare your brief: Certification and permits
Start with the decision you need to make now. For “Certification and permits”, prepare four groups of information. Keep the current version of your materials and mark missing information as an open question rather than replacing it with an assumption.
Information for the review
| Information for the review | How to record the starting data |
|---|---|
| product purpose | State the specific value, model or participants. |
| model and composition | Attach a document, description or calculation if available. |
| sales market | Record the date and version of the information. |
| manufacturer documents | Identify constraints, discrepancies and missing evidence. |
Agree the expected outcome
The discussion should focus on a list of applicable procedures and missing evidence. Clarify the subject, review depth, delivery format and actions requiring separate agreement. This checklist helps define the brief; the final scope is agreed when choosing the service and plan.
What should be clarified before work starts in this area?
For “Certification and permits”, first reconcile product purpose, model and composition, sales market, manufacturer documents. If materials describe different project versions, record the differences separately so the outcome relies on one agreed set of conditions.
What is needed before moving to the next stage?
Agree a list of applicable procedures and missing evidence. Keep the basis for the decision and unresolved questions. Timing and deliverables apply to the agreed scope; a similar project example does not confirm the conditions of your own project.
Selection by product and trade route
What documents does your product need?
Choose one of 150 product profiles. Specify the countries and intended use to obtain a preliminary document and responsibility plan.

Before commissioning tests
First we determine what exactly is required
Product and code
Composition, model, purpose and classification according to characteristics.
About the service →Country and sales channel
Where we import, where we sell and who receives the goods.
Open the finder →Manufacturer and importer
Identify who makes the product, who will apply and who will be the locally responsible party.
About the service →Forms of market access
Documents solve different problems
Open the card: it is important to understand not only the name, but also the purpose of the document.
Confirms conformity within a specific scheme. Check the issuing body, applicant, manufacturer, model and scope.
The responsible party declares compliance based on the necessary evidence. Registration procedures vary by market.
Applies to certain categories. Does not replace all other requirements for the product.
Gives the right to a certain operation, import or activity within established conditions.
Records methods, samples and test results. In itself, it does not always give the right to sell a product.
Connects the description, risk assessment, drawings, instructions and evidence for the same product.
Different products - different checks
Each category has its own set of evidence
Electronics and lighting
Voltage, compatibility, radio frequencies and materials.
Open the finder →Machinery and equipment
Intended use, safety, pressure, noise and technical dossier.
Open the finder →Food products
Composition, safety, labeling and conditions of food import.
Open the finder →Cosmetics
Composition, purpose, safety assessment and local procedure.
Open the finder →Children’s goods and toys
Age, materials, mechanical and chemical safety.

One product, different market-access systems
The country of manufacture does not automatically determine the rules of the country of sale. Sources are available on departmental websites.
European Union
Technical evidence, responsible participant and industry clearance. CE - only for specified categories.
Official source ↗UK
Requirements vary by product category and part of the UK. For covered products, check whether CE or UKCA is accepted.
Official source ↗United States
There is no single authorisation covering all goods. Children’s products, food, cosmetics and medical products follow different procedures.
Official source ↗China
Compulsory certification applies to listed products. Cosmetics and other special categories require a review of the relevant sector procedure.
Official source ↗UAE
National schemes for regulated products and separate sector-specific requirements.

Warning signs
Common reasons shipments are stopped
The document cannot be linked to the official register, issuing body, manufacturer and your model.
The tests do not confirm the characteristics of the supplied product.
The documents relate to another factory or production site.
The tested sample and series-produced goods differ in materials or design.
The mark is applied before the mandatory procedure is completed or without a valid basis.
The validity period, scheme, applicant, batch or scope does not match.
Deliverables
What will you get
The scope of work is coordinated by product and market. The issuance of permits and assessment results cannot be guaranteed until inspection.
Key points
Frequently asked questions
Is a certificate always needed?
No. Depending on the product and market, you may need a declaration, registration, permit or other document, or to fulfil requirements without a separate certificate. The assessment form is determined after product identification.
Is an EAEU TN VED code enough to identify the required documents?
No. The code helps identify the regulatory scope, but requirements also depend on composition, intended use, user age, specifications, country and supply procedure. Here, the four-digit heading is indicative only.
Can a foreign test report be used?
Sometimes. Check the method, laboratory, recognition of the result, model and applicable procedure. Translating a foreign report alone does not make it acceptable evidence.
Do I need to test every batch?
This depends on the chosen scheme, regulation, production stability and product changes. Agree on sampling and monitoring before dispatching samples.
Who is responsible for labeling?
The responsibilities of the manufacturer, importer, authorized person and seller are determined by market requirements. The contract distributes the work, but does not cancel the obligations under the law.
If the goods are traveling through a third country, are two certificates needed?
Not automatically. It is important to distinguish transit or bonded warehouse from release into the local market. Documents of the country of final sale and conditions of movement through an intermediate country are checked separately.
Before production and shipping
First, confirm product market access.
Then arrange supply and sales.
We will connect requirements, tests, documents and markings into one clear route. Let’s start with your product and country.
This information is for reference. Requirements depend on the product, country, applicant’s role and transaction date. A preliminary result is not authorisation to import or sell. The scope of support is agreed separately.
