Chemicals shipped to Russia
Russia's chemical demand spans generic pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, fertilisers, mining and coatings. Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kazan, Nizhny Novgorod, Yaroslavl and Novosibirsk host generic drug makers and research institutes that buy APIs, impurity reference standards, lab reagents and biochemicals. Zemixal can route sea freight from Nhava Sheva or Mundra to Novorossiysk, St. Petersburg or Vladivostok, or through the Caspian port of Astrakhan, with transit of roughly 30 to 45 days, and air cargo to Moscow or Novosibirsk typically takes 4 to 7 days. Every enquiry is screened against applicable sanctions and export-control lists before quotation, and available shipping and payment routes can be limited, so terms are agreed case by case. Lots that are cleared for supply ship with a COA and a 16-section GHS SDS.

By air the same journey usually takes 8–17 days from order to delivery.
Importing chemicals into Russia
Chemical products entering Russia must meet Eurasian Economic Union technical regulations, with EAC conformity documents and Russian-language SDS and labels, usually arranged by the importer. APIs for medicines are registered with the Ministry of Health and overseen by Roszdravnadzor. Precursor and narcotic-related substances need specific import licences. Every shipment must be screened against applicable sanctions and export-control lists, and an end-use or end-user statement is typically required. Available shipping and payment routes vary, so terms are confirmed for each order.
