What is an Exemption Letter?
Exemption Letters are required to prove that a product exported to and/or sold in Russia is not subject to Mandatory GOST R Certification.
Exemption Letters might be requested by Russian customs authorities in case of ambiguous product coding due to discrepancy between the Russian Product Classification OKP and the Foreign Trade Classifications TNVED.
