0.1% on exports: REC opens a "green corridor" for businesses to pay to China

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

There is no minimum order, making the service accessible even for micropayments: for example, 100 yuan for product samples before signing a large contract.

The Russian Export Center (REC) has launched a specialized service for settlements with China, a REC representative announced at an industry webinar for foreign trade participants.

The system allows Russian companies to accept export payments from China at a fixed commission of 0.1% of the transaction amount, based on the Central Bank exchange rate. For import transactions, the rate is slightly higher – up to 0.5%, but the REC expects to reduce it for larger volumes. As a representative of the center emphasizes, a key advantage is the lack of a minimum transaction amount, making the service accessible even for micropayments: for example, 100 yuan for product samples before signing a large contract.

Operations are completely removed from US control, as settlements are conducted in a ruble-yuan system. The Russian Export Center (REC) makes payments in yuan within China, and in Russia, companies receive rubles. This model operates outside the dollar infrastructure, making it immune to sanctions pressure.

Payments are processed twice a week, and funds are credited to Russian companies' accounts within two business days. If a Chinese partner transfers funds on Tuesday, the exporter receives the ruble equivalent in Russia on Thursday or, in exceptional cases, Friday.

Participation in the project requires the Chinese counterparty to be located in one of China's 12 special jurisdictions. These include Anhui, Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, Heilongjiang, Jilin, Guangdong, Zhejiang, and Shanghai. These provinces are home to Russia's key manufacturing partners. The geographic restriction is due to the specifics of Chinese tax legislation: companies from these regions can send and receive yuan without incurring VAT liability for domestic transactions, preserving their ability to claim tax refunds.

As a reminder, the reason banks in Heilongjiang Province (China) suspended settlements in Russian currency in September 2025 was a radical upgrade to the regional payment platform. At that time, this affected banks that were part of the region's unified cooperative system.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

NordStar Airlines operated its inaugural flight on the Norilsk-Krasnodar route. The first flight, after a lengthy hiatus, took place on October 6, 2025. Passengers will be able to fly to Krasnodar twice a week in the future.

The first flight from Norilsk Airport to Krasnodar departed with a high occupancy rate, demonstrating the high demand for this route among passengers.

This important event marks the return of a historic route long beloved by our passengers living in the Norilsk industrial region. Krasnodar has always held a special place among NordStar's routes, and now, with the lifting of flight restrictions to the capital of Kuban, this route will once again open up the opportunity for Norilsk residents to vacation at the resorts of the Krasnodar Region, as well as visit cities such as Anapa, Sochi, and others.

"NordStar Airlines is constantly working to expand its route network, striving to make air travel from Norilsk more diverse and comfortable. By reopening flights to Krasnodar, we hope that they will be a wonderful addition to our existing routes in 2025, and that our passengers will be able to discover even more travel options within the Krasnodar Region," NordStar Airlines' press service reported.

It's worth noting that previously, due to air travel restrictions to cities in the Krasnodar Krai, the journey south for passengers involved numerous transfers and significant time expenditures. The launch of two convenient weekly flights will allow passengers to travel with their usual comfort.

Tickets for these and other NordStar flights can be purchased on the official website. www.nordstar.ru, in the airline's mobile app, at city ticket agencies, as well as through the NordStar Airlines Contact Center by phone at 8-800-700-8-007 (free call within Russia) or by dialing *0887 for free calls within the Russian Federation from a mobile phone.

TMH JSC, TVZ, and CPPK launched the 100th Ivolga 4.0 in an exclusive livery.


The black Ivolga was launched on MCD-4.

The matte black body with bright red "MCD" letters and a shiny "100" makes the train a true metropolitan art object. Inside, passengers enjoy maximum comfort, complemented by the mint-colored interior.

It is emotion, style and a symbol of how Moscow transport sets the standards for the future.

"The 100th Ivolga is a special train. Passengers have been eagerly awaiting its arrival, and today it hit the roads. It is a symbol of the development of Moscow transport, a combination of engineering, design, and passenger comfort. By deploying the black anniversary Ivolga on MCD-4, Moscow has once again set an example of what modern urban transport should be. We are developing the MCD on the instructions of Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin," said Maxim Liksutov.
