Answer
Hi Walter,
I was at a conference yesterday with Abion Overseas and they have specialist experience in the Russian market. Looking at their website there is some good information on the topic here:

Drop David an email and I’m sure he will be able to advise david@albionoverseas.com
Kind regards,

Answer
We can arrange this. Clothing is quite straight forward. You need a sanitary certificate, then you submit a Declaration of Conformity and then you will receive a Certificate of Conformity. I suggest that you engage us to prepare your first set of shipping documents too. Russian/bilingual text helps with speed. Many customs officials do not speak English even now.
