The Ministry of Industry and Trade has prepared an updated version of the list of goods that can be imported into Russia through parallel imports. As follows from the order signed by First Deputy Minister Vasily Osmakov, the department did not take into account the proposal of Russian electronics manufacturers, who advocated limiting the parallel import of foreign equipment into the country. The list includes products from Acer, Asus, IBM, Dell, HP and other vendors. A copy of the document is at the disposal of Vedomosti, its authenticity was confirmed by two sources in companies in the electronics market and one interlocutor in the profile association.
The representative of the Ministry of Industry and Trade explained to Vedomosti that “taking into account the proposals received from manufacturers and customers,” an analysis is underway of whether it is necessary to exclude “servers and data storage systems (SHD)” from the list of parallel imports. Such a decision “may be made on the basis of well-founded proposals for specific brands,” if they are supported by data from “production of similar domestic products,” he explained. “At the same time, we note that such data from manufacturers were not received by the Ministry of Industry and Trade,” the source said.
At the end of July, Osmakov announced that the Ministry of Industry and Trade approved an updated version of the list in a conversation with RIA Novosti on the sidelines of the Russia-Africa forum. He promised that in the near future the order would be sent to the Ministry of Justice. Osmakov then added that this is not the final form of the list, work on it continues and the next version may appear in 2-3 months.
Parallel import involves the importation of original goods into the country without the permission of the right holder or manufacturer. In the Russian Federation, this measure began to operate on March 29, 2022 in response to Western sanctions. In September, the mechanism was extended to 2023.
