Trade with Russia and CIS has become an increasingly important part of the business of most multinational companies. As one of the largest and fast-growing economies, Russia is committed to modernising the country’s infrastructures and economy through a boost of foreign investments. Moreover, the trade and customs regulatory landscape has recently changed with the new Customs Union between Russia, Kazakhstan and Belarus fully operational in July 2010. Multinational companies have a greater opportunity than ever before to enter the marketplace.
