35% Duty on Dietary Supplements: Changes Will Not Affect Our Service's Clients!

In recent days, the media has been actively discussing the news that the Government of the Russian Federation has introduced a 35% import duty on biologically active additives (BAAs) and vitamins from unfriendly countries, which comes into effect on October 2.

Many of our clients have become worried: «Will the delivery of favorite vitamins from iHerb, Amazon and other foreign platforms become more expensive?»

We answer directly and confidently: no, nothing will change for you!

Why won't the new regulation affect you?

  1. Only for commercial batches (legal entities): The Government Resolution applies exclusively to the general customs clearance procedure. This concerns importers, wholesalers and legal entities that import supplements for further resale in the territory of the Russian Federation.
  2. Personal use parcels — under the previous rules: All parcels that you arrange through our service are declared as goods for personal use by individuals. Standard duty-free import rules for individuals apply to them, and the 35% rate does not apply.
  3. Official confirmation from logistics partners: We have already received clarifications from customs representatives and partner delivery services: the clearance procedure and calculation of delivery costs for parcels with vitamins and supplements remain the same.

Order your favorite vitamins as usual

You can still order vitamins and any permitted supplements from the USA at the favorable prices of original foreign stores.

We continue to purchase, carefully pack and deliver your orders in the usual mode — quickly, reliably and without hidden extra charges!
