Exporters from Tatarstan will be able to receive co-financing for the transportation of goods

The new service is open to entrepreneurs from Tatarstan who export their goods to international markets across the territory of the Russian Federation. Exporters will be able to receive up to 80% of the cost of transporting products. The project is implemented by the Export Support Center within the framework of the national projects "Small and Medium-sized Entrepreneurship" and "International Cooperation and Export".

The center co-finances the costs of transporting products to the borders of the Russian Federation, but not more than 500 thousand rubles for one enterprise, the Ministry of Economy of the Republic of Tatarstan specified.

"Logistics costs are a significant part of exporters' costs. The national projects "Small and Medium–sized Entrepreneurship" and "International Cooperation and Export" allow us to cover up to 80% of entrepreneurs' expenses and significantly reduce transport costs that affect the final cost of the product and its competitive qualities," said Deputy Minister of Economy of the Republic of Tatarstan Natalia Kondratova.

According to the ministry, financial support includes the costs of organizing transportation, loading and unloading, reloading from one transport to another, sorting, consolidation, unbinding, labeling, palletizing and repacking of goods.

The service is available to small and medium-sized enterprises of the republic, which are included in the register of SMEs. The following requirement is imposed on entrepreneurs – the presence of an export contract concluded, which provides for the obligation to transport products to a foreign buyer.

An application for the service can be submitted on the SME.RF portal (go to the "Services" tab, find the "Regional support measures" section, select the "Republic of Tatarstan" filter, then select "Co-financing of transportation of products" from the list of services).

Advice on support for exporters can be obtained by calling the Export Support Center: +7(843)222-90-60 (extension 272 or 279) or +7(987)270-06-91.
