The car import to Russia has increased 2.7 times in the first half of the current year. A report from the Russian Federal Customs Service says the import of foreign cars has increased up to 215.2 thousand cars. Importing automobiles and other vehicles into Russia is expensive but often essential for U.S. companies doing business there. Since heavy customs duties were imposed last July, combined Import tariffs and excise taxes can exceed 100 percent of a vehicles total value.
