Mandatory sections: both parties' details (tax ID, SWIFT/IBAN), subject of the agreement with HS code, price and currency, delivery basis under Incoterms 2020, payment schedule, performance deadlines, quality requirements, liability of the parties, force majeure, governing law, and an arbitration clause. These are exactly the sections the authorized bank checks when registering the contract under 173-FZ.
A sample from the builder is personalized: it contains the real details of both parties, the chosen HS code, and specific Incoterms and payment conditions. A template from the internet is a generic blank with no guarantee it's up to date. Reworking such a template by hand takes 2–4 hours and requires knowing the bank's and customs' requirements.
Russian banks and customs work with documents in Russian. Foreign partners typically work in English. The best option is a bilingual sample with parallel EN/RU columns: both texts carry equal legal weight, no notarized translation is required.
Yes. After payment you get a DOCX file without a watermark — it opens in Microsoft Word, LibreOffice, and Google Docs. You can add, change, or remove sections, expand the specification, and add extra terms. The free sample on this page is for viewing only.
No. Art. 162 of the Russian Civil Code and the CISG only require a written form. No notarization, apostille, or state registration is needed. Signatures of authorized representatives are enough. Remote exchange of scans followed by mailing the originals is standard practice.
Under 173-FZ — for deals from 3 million RUB (import / loans received in Russia) or from 6 million RUB (export / loans issued from Russia). The bank assigns a unique registration number. Below these thresholds registration isn't required, but the contract sample is still needed to justify the payment.

Trade Contract Sample: Why an Up-to-Date Document Matters

In international trade, a contract is not a formality — it's the basis for everything that follows: the bank payment, the customs declaration, the tax record. Using an outdated or poorly drafted sample can lead to the bank refusing a payment, cargo held up at customs, or tax claims.

What makes a trade contract sample "correct"

When checking a contract, the authorized bank looks first at the mandatory details required by 173-FZ and Bank of Russia Instruction No. 181-I: the subject of the deal, amount, currency, deadlines, payment schedule, and both parties' details. Customs checks that the HS code matches the actual product and the price — duties are calculated from it. A sample from our generator contains all these elements in structured form.

Bilingual sample and the CISG

The standard in international trade is a bilingual document with parallel columns: English on the left, Russian on the right. Both texts carry equal legal weight, no notarized translation is required. The generator produces a sample compliant with the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) — ratified by more than 90 countries, including China, Germany, the United States, and Turkey.

Import vs. export samples — what's different

On import, the Russian party is the buyer: it pays a foreign supplier for goods or services. The sample includes the cargo receipt terms, the supplier's SWIFT details, and Incoterms such as FOB or CIF. On export, the Russian company is the seller: it receives currency from a foreign buyer. The sample adapts to the buyer's details, FCA or DAP delivery terms, and advance-refund requirements.

How to use the finished contract

After payment, the DOCX file without a watermark opens in any text editor. Check every section, add any industry-specific terms if needed, expand the specification. Print two copies. Remote signing — exchanging scans with wet signatures and mailing the originals afterward — is standard practice. For deals above the 173-FZ thresholds, submit the contract to the authorized bank for registration and to obtain the unique registration number.
