Russia Extends Simplified Procedure for Confirming Imports' Regulatory Compliance

The Russian government on July 17 extended for another year, until Sept. 1, 2024, its simplified procedure for confirming the compliance of imported goods with technical regulations and interstate standards, the Russian Foreign Ministry announced, according to an unofficial translation. Originally set in March 2022, the policy allows exporters to use a simplified procedure whereby they submit declarations of conformity based on their own evidence without "lengthy laboratory tests."
