With the deepening of the Belt and Road initiative, Russia has become an important market for Chinas machinery and equipment exports. However, against the backdrop of Ruble exchange rate fluctuations and intensified international sanctions, export enterprises urgently need to establish a systematic risk prevention and control system. This article analyzes key risk points and response solutions from a practical perspective.

I. Dual prevention of political and legal risks

Dynamic monitoring of sanction lists

Special contract terms

Article 12 Force Majeure: If the contract cannot be fulfilled due to EU/US sanctions against Russia, the seller has the right to suspend delivery without bearing liability for breach of contract. 
 

II. Full-process control system for payment risks

3-stage fund security solution

3. Final payment stage: Insure with China Export & Credit Insurance Corporation (Sinosure)

Exchange Rate Fluctuation Management
? Sign price adjustment clauses: Payment amounts linked to USD/RUB exchange rate
? Use cross-border RMB settlement (accounting for 42% in 2023)

III. Special handling solutions for logistics and customs clearance

Key Logistics Parameter Control

(Compulsory):
A Shandong construction machinery company reduced delivery cycle from 45 to 22 days and cut logistics costs by 18% through China-Russia Express Railway + border warehouse stocking model.

IV. Risk transfer strategy for after-sales service

? Adopt localized service contracting model: Established maintenance cooperation with Rostec
? Deploy remote diagnostic system: Equipped with 5G IoT modules for fault預(yù)警
? Implement 3+2 inventory system for critical parts (3 border warehouses + 2 central warehouses)

V. Long-term cooperation risk mitigation mechanism

1. Establish joint task force: Station permanent legal and technical teams
2. Participate in Russian localization projects: Obtain tax incentives (VAT reduction for >30%設(shè)備localization rate)
3. Use blockchain smart contracts: Enable end-to-end management of customs, payment, and logistics data

Conclusion: By establishing three-dimensional protection system of pre-screening, process control, and post-guarantee, companies can control bad debt rate in Russian market below 1.5%. Recommend establishing direct communication channels with CCI for latest market updates.
