Russia Trade Contract with the UAE: A Practical Guide

The UAE as a re-export hub

If goods were brought into the UAE from a third country and are resold to Russia, verify the actual country of origin of the goods for Russian customs.

Corporate forms in the UAE

The UAE has several business forms: LLC (mainland company; since 2021, 100% foreign ownership has been possible in a number of sectors), Free Zone Company (FZE — single shareholder, FZCO — multiple shareholders), Offshore Company (RAKICC, Ajman Offshore). A free zone company may do business on the mainland only with permission from its free zone authority — verify the counterparty's status.

CISG and governing law

The UAE has not joined the Vienna Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). But the contract from our generator is governed by Russian law, so the Convention applies to the sale of goods as part of Russian law (Article 1(1)(b) CISG); disputes are heard by the ICAC at the Russian Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

Currency and payment instruments

The UAE dirham (AED) has been firmly pegged to the US dollar since 1997 (3.6725 AED = 1 USD). This currency stability makes AED predictable, but for settlements with the Russian side you need to check with your bank on the available correspondent routes.
