Certificate of conformity (COC) for Russia: what and why

European buyers rarely need legalised shipping documents for routine trade, but authorities and banks may ask for them in tenders, disputes or special import regimes.
Authorities, banks and business partners in Russia usually ask for a legalised certificate of conformity (COC) for customs clearance under conformity programmes, product standards compliance or government and project tenders.
A certificate of conformity (COC) issued in India is notarised, attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce and then apostilled by the MEA. Russia accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.
Russia accepts the MEA apostille. Authorities there may ask for a sworn Russian translation made in Russia; where a certified translation from India is accepted, we can arrange it.
