Names come in English where the EU Combined Nomenclature publishes them — chapters, headings and subheadings, whose first six digits are the same Harmonized System; deeper EAEU detail is a machine translation, marked as such. Official texts — tariff notes, measures, lists and classification rulings — are the original: customs and your broker go by that wording. Where we show a machine translation of them, it is marked; where our quality check rejected one, the Russian stays.
Machine translation. The original is the Russian text of the EAEU tariff, and customs goes by it; this translation is for understanding only and has no legal force.
This is the base rate. A tariff quota, a preference for the country of origin and a tariff exemption lower it; anti-dumping and special duties are paid on top of it
EEC Council Decision No. 80 of 14.09.2021
None: russian bans and restrictions, conformity assessment, dual use, EAEU non-tariff regulation, trade defence measures — duty on top of the tariff, tariff quota.
Whether a measure applies to your goods depends on their characteristics and the shipping documents
The general import rate in Russia: Tax Code of Russia, Art. 164(3) (Federal Law No. 425-FZ of 28.11.2025). This code is not named on the 10% VAT list (Decree No. 908) or the exemption list (No. 1042). The list of medical goods No. 688 is not checked here.

Correspondence keys of the Russian Ministry of Economic Development, edition of 20.07.2023. The ministry’s caveat: Ключи отражают возможные соответствия между кодами на уровне первых шести знаков ТН ВЭД ЕАЭС (основанной на ГС) и кодами ОКПД 2 (основанного на КПЕС) по состоянию на 1 января 2022 года. Предлагаемые соответствия не являются исчерпывающими и предназначены для использования в качестве вспомогательного материала для облегчения работы по установлению возможных вариантов корреляции кодов классификаторов в отношении соответствующих категорий товаров.
Настоящие переходные ключи (сопоставительные таблицы) разработаны на основе данных агентства Евростат Комиссии Европейского союза по корреляции кодов Гармонизированной системы описания и кодирования товаров (ГС) 2022 года и Статистической классификации продукции по видам экономической деятельности в Европейском союзе (КПЕС) 2008 года. Ключи отражают возможные соответствия между кодами на уровне первых шести знаков ТН ВЭД ЕАЭС (основанной на ГС) и кодами ОКПД 2 (основанного на КПЕС) по состоянию на 1 января 2022 года. Предлагаемые соответствия не являются исчерпывающими и предназначены для использования в качестве вспомогательного материала для облегчения работы по установлению возможных вариантов корреляции кодов классификаторов в отношении соответствующих категорий товаров. Услуги не являются объектом классификации в ТН ВЭД ЕАЭС и не включены в переходные ключи. По мере внесения изменений в ОКПД 2 и ТН ВЭД ЕАЭС переходные ключи при необходимости подлежат актуализации.
