Arctic enterprises can obtain a free sale certificate

19 August 2025

Before starting to supply any product abroad, it is necessary to provide documentary evidence that it complies with Russian legislation and can be freely circulated within our country.

Such confirmation is the Free Sale Certificate. On August 31, 2016, the Government of the Russian Federation adopted Resolution No. 871, which empowered the Russian Export Center to issue such certificates.

Registration of this document opens the way to successful foreign economic activity.

The presence of FSC facilitates the export of products to countries such as China, Taiwan, Iraq, Mexico, Colombia, Sudan, Nigeria, etc., as it is a confirmation of compliance with the requirements of the exporting country.

An application for a free sale certificate can be submitted on the My Export platform:  Documents Service. Free Sale Certificate – One Window – My Export  

If all documents are completed correctly, within 10 working days from the date of application, REC employees will issue a Free Sale Certificate.

The Murmansk Region Export Support Center provides services to small and medium-sized businesses to enter exports and expand the geography of supplies with the assistance of the regional Ministry of Arctic Development and Economy.
