Trade specifics with Kuwait

Key terms to reflect in the contract with Kuwait

CISG applies through Russian law

Kuwait has not ratified CISG. But the contract from our generator is governed by Russian law, and Russia is a party to the Convention, so it applies to the sale of goods as part of Russian law (Article 1(1)(b) CISG).

CISG · Russian law

KWD — one of the strongest currencies

The Kuwaiti dinar (KWD) is one of the highest-valued currencies in the world (1 KWD ≈ 3.2 USD). The parties choose the contract currency themselves.

KWD · high exchange rate

173-FZ: deadlines and registration

The deadlines for receiving proceeds are set in the contract — the bank takes them into account when registering it. Under Presidential Decree No. 430, the mandatory amount of foreign currency proceeds to be credited is tied to the mandatory sale rate — check the rate in force on the date of the deal. For amounts from 3 million RUB (import) or 10 million RUB (export), the contract is registered with the bank and receives a unique number (UNK).

173-FZ · contract registration

GCC common external tariff

Kuwait is a member of the GCC. Exports to Kuwait are subject to the GCC common external tariff (5% on average). Factor this into your pricing.

GCC · customs tariff
