Features of importing alcohol from European countries

European alcohol is traditionally in high demand on the Russian market. Importers are required to provide a declaration of conformity and quality certificates from the country of origin. Each bottle must have a unique identification number in the EGAIS system.

When importing alcohol from Europe, the temperature regime is strictly controlled at all stages of transportation. Failure to comply with storage conditions can worsen the characteristics of the product.

Peculiarities of importing alcohol from European countries

Customs clearance of alcoholic beverages

The customs clearance process includes several stages. It begins with the filing of a preliminary declaration, providing the necessary package of documents. Next, the quality is checked, then the authenticity of the goods.

After successfully passing all checks and obtaining permission, marking with excise stamps is carried out. Only after this can alcohol be allowed for sale in Russia.
