Chinese partners often offer a comprehensive solution: the price of the product includes both production and delivery. While this may seem convenient, this simplification leads to additional, unobvious costs. In such circumstances, the 22% import tax to Russia is calculated not only on the product but also on logistics.
The KMZ Cargo company (part of the military-industrial holding Kinigsepp Machine-Building Plant) recommends, in accordance with Article 164, paragraph 2.1 of the Russian Tax Code, accounting for international logistics services separately from the purchase of goods. A contract for the production or purchase of equipment, which includes the cost of only the goods themselves, is concluded separately from the contract for transportation services. This approach allows for the provision of international transportation logistics services at a zero VAT rate in accordance with the Russian Tax Code. After rendering services, KMZ Cargo provides a full package of documents confirming the international shipment, which is processed at a zero VAT rate.
The company's specialists are knowledgeable about international shipping and its regulations, ensuring the fastest and most cost-effective delivery possible. KMZ Cargo is your reliable partner for international freight transportation!
