SBKTS (vehicle design safety certificate)
Mandatory for cars, tractors and self-propelled equipment. Built on the manufacturer's OTTS. Issued per VIN.
Electronic vehicle title (EPTS)
Issued on the basis of SBKTS. Required for traffic-police or Gostekhnadzor registration. Issued in 1–3 business days after SBKTS is uploaded to the system.
Recycling fee
Paid alongside customs clearance. The rate depends on equipment type, weight, age and engine displacement. Updated annually by Russian government decrees.

FAQ
Certification and documents
Do I need a TR CU 010/2011 declaration for every unit of equipment?
For serial models from XCMG, SANY, LiuGong, Shantui, SDLG the declaration is issued per series — accredited-lab test reports are already in force. For one-off models or unusual configurations — separate testing in an accredited laboratory.
Who pays the recycling fee — supplier or customer?
The recycling fee is paid by the importer — the legal entity on whose behalf the customs declaration is filed. KDL calculates the amount up front and confirms it with the customer. Payment goes through the customs broker alongside customs duties.
What if a model has no active TR CU declaration?
Two scenarios: issue a per-batch declaration (sample testing, 10–20 business days, ₽150–400 k) or switch to an analogue model that has an active declaration from the same manufacturer. The latter usually saves 2–3 weeks.
How long does EPTS take after the machine arrives?
After customs release: SBKTS — 1–3 business days; SBKTS upload to the system and EPTS issuance — 1–3 business days. Total from release to ready EPTS — 3–7 business days.
Is ERA-GLONASS required for heavy equipment (excavators, loaders)?
No — ERA-GLONASS applies only to wheeled vehicles registered with the traffic police (categories M, N). Crawler and self-propelled equipment registered with Gostekhnadzor is exempt.
What if the supplier doesn't provide a CCC certificate?
A Chinese export declaration without CCC is impossible for most equipment groups — cargo will not be cleared out of the PRC. We verify CCC validity in the open CNCA register before signing the contract and lock the requirement into the agreement.
How fast can a document pack be prepared for a new model?
For serial Chinese brands with a ready TR CU declaration and OTTS — 5–10 business days. For rare or custom models — 25–45 business days. Final estimate is given after reviewing the manufacturer's documentation.
