EAC is the door into Russia. Tyres fall under the customs-union technical regulation for wheeled vehicles, so the certificate covers the family and the sizes, and the marking has to be on the tyre and in the documents before release. We hold an EAC file for the families we quote, and we check your size list against it before the price goes out.
Tyres sit in the part of the regulation that needs a certificate rather than a self-declared conformity, which means an accredited body and an audited factory file. The number is quoted with the offer, and its validity date is on the certificates page.
Russia traces tyres in the national marking system. The registration is the importer's, but the product data, the GTINs and the packing list have to support it — tell us at quotation stage, because the codes are ordered against the shipment, not after arrival.
Labels, instructions and the document set are translated and, where required, notarised. The wording is fixed once for the family so that repeated shipments do not fall over a translation that drifted.
The northwest closes with the ice window, the Far East with the rail schedule. A winter line has to land before the season starts, so the loading window is agreed backwards from your selling season rather than forwards from our production run.
The sizes below are the ones that move most often in this market. Each one links to the patterns we can quote in it; a size that is not listed is still worth asking about, because the library runs to several hundred and the list moves with production.
St Petersburg for the northwest, Novorossiysk for the south, Vladivostok for the Far East, and rail through Zabaikalsk when the box is going east of the Urals. One 20GP opens an order; the load is built around the sizes that sell in your region, and the marking data is collected while the container is still being packed.
Ports: St Petersburg · Novorossiysk · Vladivostok · Zabaikalsk by rail
The file we hold is listed on the certificates page with its number and validity exactly as issued. Where your size range falls outside it, we say so before the offer rather than after the order.
Regularly. Russian distributors buy winter stock in the spring and all-season in the autumn, so the same customer runs two loading windows a year, and the patterns are kept apart on the packing list.
The certificate stays with the manufacturer; the importer is named on the customs declaration. What you receive is the certified copy and the technical file behind it, which is what your customs broker asks for.
Tell us the size, the pattern reference if you have one, the quantity and the destination port. We reply within one working day with availability, container loading and price.
