The importation of goods to the territory of the Russian Federation is regulated by the

customs legislation of the Russian Federation

and international legislation whose norms are valid on the territory of the Russian Federation. Among non-tariff norms of regulation of the import of goods, the main ones are the non-tariff legislation of the Russian Federation and the non-tariff legislation of the Customs Union of the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU). This legislation provides the following types of obligatory regulation for electro-technical products, computer and network equipment, electronics and radio-electronic devices:

EAC certificate

(EurAsian Conformity certificate).

Products that use radio frequency energy or electrical energy with a voltage greater than 12 volts, must comply with the technical requirements in the field of safety. The required standards are defined in the technical regulations of the Customs Union. To confirm the compliance of certified products, an EAC certificate (TR CU certificate) or an EAC declaration is issued.

CCC certificate

(Communications Compliance certificate).

Goods used for information transfer by means of electrical or radio frequency energy have to comply with the standards and technical requirements for means of communication. The required standards are established in the orders of the Ministry of Communications. For confirmation of the conformity of certified products, the CCC certificate is issued (Russian FAC certificate, Russian CCC declaration).

RFC certificate

(RadioFrequency Compliance certificate).

Goods using radio frequency range or radio frequency energy for industrial, scientific, medical, household or other purposes and also for the transfer of information, have to comply with the technical requirements for radio electronic equipment and high frequency devices. The required standards are defined in the decisions of the State Commission on Radio Frequencies. For confirmation of compliance on goods which passed examination, a RFC certificate is drawn by the RFC (Russian EMC certificate, Russian RFC conclusion).

FSS notification

(Federal Security Service notification).

Goods applied to the work of enciphering or means of cryptography have to comply with the technical requirements for cryptographic equipment and cryptographic tools. The required standards are established in the acts of the Federal Security Service. For confirmation of compliance on goods which passed examination, a FSS notification is drawn by the Federal Security Service (Russian FSB notification, Russian encryption certificate).

EAC license

(EurAsian Conformity license).

Goods included in the list limited to import into the customs territory, including those containing radio electronic equipment or means of encryption in the structure, have to comply with the limits for these products. The required standards are defined in acts of the Ministry of Industry and Trade. For confirmation of compliance on goods which passed examination, a EAC license is made out (Russian trade license, Russian Customs license).

Question:
Hi, can FCC approval utilise for Russian approval for Bluetooth LE product?
Lasse 9/27/2019 2:55:01 PM
Answer:
Hi Lasse,
Bluetooth LE products usually require a EAC declaration TR CU EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) only. FCC approval can’t be used for EAC approval since Russia do not have a two-way agreement with USA. But, in any case, the FCC test report could be useful as a detailed tech description of the product.

Question:
Hi, can the EAC mark only be shown on the device's display instead of being affixed to device? br -Lasse-
Lasse 10/11/2018 10:39:07 AM
Answer:
Hi Lasse,
EAC mark must not be shown on the device’s display only. In this case the EAC mark is not accessible for inspection while the display is turned off or broken, which is not allowed by TR CU. In the same time, according to the TR CU 004/2011 “Low Voltage Equipment” and TR CU 020/2011 “Electromagnetic Compatibility” «4. Affixing of a single mark of market access of the Member States of the Customs Union only on packaging and its indication in the attached operational documents is allowed in case a single mark of market access can’t be affixed directly on a technical device due to its specific construction.» I hope this helps you.

Question:
What kind of certificate we need for our GPON product(OLT +ONT). Thank you very much!
Jacob 3/16/2017 7:30:05 PM
Answer:
Dear Jacob,
In case of using a 220V AC power source the ONT is the subject of EAC declaration.
If the ONT uses some wireless interfaces then it needs to have a RFC certificate.
Finally if the ONT uses any encryption protocols (for example SSL/TLS for remote administration) then it should have a FSS notification.

Question:
Hi, We are sending bank debit cards from London to our Russia bank branch via courier. Customs have held it, as they are asking for an FSB notification for this product. Could you please advise if this is correct and if so, what do we need to do?
Kavitha 1/19/2017 3:00:33 PM
Answer:
Hi Kavitha,
It depends on functions of the cards. If cards has chips with hardware encryption (DES, 3DES, AES, RSA, SHA, MD5 etc.) like in Smart Cards, Java Cards, Mifare Cards - then the FSS notification should be registered.
If you have a technical specification for cards chips please send it to me for more concrete answer.
In other case if cards do not have any encryption it should be imported without any additional permissions.
