How to make the certification cost-effective?
To make certification cost-effective, we recommend correlating the type of certificate with anticipated volume of exports and range of exported goods. Thus, if you are planning to regularly ship your goods to Russia, and their range is quite wide, it might be wiser to opt for a serial certificate valid for a few years. Although it will require higher single payment versus shipment certification, in the long-term such a scheme can save both your time and money. In fact, whole product line will have to be sampled and tested in the framework of a shipment certification, whereas only a limited number of samples will be tested for serial certification since production audit will certify conformity of the rest.
