Thus, the mechanism of the "Import Substitution Center" allows collecting information about import-substituting products produced in the country, providing assistance to customers whose activities depended on the import of components, goods, raw materials and equipment in search of replacement products.

In addition, the resource contains proposals for small and medium-sized businesses that allow them to master the production of demanded products.

The resource consists of two sections.

The first one – the "Register of previously purchased products" – allows manufacturers and sellers to analyze information about the production of similar import-substituting products. Today the register contains about 153.8 thousand nomenclature items.

The second one is "Replacement Proposals". The section consolidates the offers of manufacturers and sellers to replace foreign goods and components with Russian-made goods. It includes over 163.6 thousand positions.

The resource "Import Substitution Center" is freely available on the website of the RMC: http://rmcrt.ru/index.html
