The government signed Resolution No. 1055 dated 08/21/2026, which supplemented the list of technological equipment, the analogues of which are not manufactured in Russia and the import of which is exempt from VAT. The basic document is Resolution No. 372 of April 30, 2009. The changes are valid after one day after the official publication.
The list includes four items. Centrifugal compressor units for process gas of the first and second stages EH140-1 and EH112-1 assembled by XI'AN SHAANGU POWER CO., LTD — EAEU HS code 8414 80 110 0. Automatic high-speed MH-CD500 diaper production line manufactured by Fujian Minghui Machinery Co., Ltd — code 8420 10 800 0. Automated H100c line for the production of vacuum tubes for blood collection with labeling and gel filling system — code 8422 30 000 8. Automated multimedia fountain system ZW-SW-GC-20250806 for synchronized water, light and laser shows — code 8424 89 000 9.
The key feature of the document for the declarant is that the government has expanded the list not with codes, but with descriptions. For a number of items, a specific model and manufacturer are indicated. The coincidence of the HS code does not in itself give the right to exemption: the inspector compares the imported goods with the text of the list item, and the discrepancy in the model or configuration closes the privilege.
The economics of the issue are considered fast. With a VAT rate of 22% and a production line cost of 60 million rubles, the exemption saves the company about 13.2 million rubles at the release stage — money that is otherwise frozen until deduction.
The procedure for those who carry such equipment. Check the product passport, the contract specification and the packing list with the wording of the list item, including the manufacturer's name. Request a confirmation of the model from the supplier on the factory's letterhead. If there is the slightest discrepancy in the configuration, it makes sense to get a preliminary decision on classification in advance, rather than arguing with the inspector at the release stage, when the batch is already in a temporary storage warehouse.
