The Ministry of Natural Resources has restricted the import of air conditioners and refrigerators into the Russian Federation
Electronics retailers are reporting price increases and delays in deliveries of air conditioners and refrigerators.
The increase in prices and the increase in delivery times are due to the new rules of the Ministry of Natural Resources regarding the import of goods.
The changes will affect up to 90% of air conditioners and 50% of refrigerators, writes RBC .
Market participants fear that the new rules will impact delivery schedules.
The reason is that the Ministry of Natural Resources has introduced strict requirements for the import of goods containing refrigerants for air conditioners and refrigerators.
Since October 8, a permit is required for import of mono-substances and other goods containing refrigerants.
Electronics retailers predict that this could significantly impact delivery times and prices for products containing refrigerants.
