Dear Member,
With reference to the letter sent to our Chamber by TOBB, forwarded to our Union: a) our letter dated 27.01.2025 and numbered 923. b) In the letter dated 30.01.2025 and numbered 105647797 received from the Ministry of Trade; in our letter referenced in (a), information had been conveyed that, according to the relevant legislation in force in the Russian Federation (RF), the federal road usage fee collected from vehicles over 12 tonnes, which is 3,05 Roubles per kilometre, will be applied as 3,34 Roubles as of 1 February 2025.
This time, the letter referenced in (b), a copy of which is attached, explains that the amount of the fine to be imposed by the RF on vehicles travelling without paying the said fee has been increased from 5 thousand Roubles (approximately 50 US Dollars) to 20 thousand Roubles (approximately 200 US Dollars). In addition, it is stated that foreign vehicles will not be permitted to exit the RF if the said road usage fee has not been paid or if there is a record of unpaid fines for reasons such as violation of traffic rules or overloading.
