With brownfield projects leading the way in Russia’s pulp & paper sector, the issue of ensuring the most cost-effective and optimal equipment purchase and delivery becomes paramount for companies undergoing both a complex modernisation process and a more straight-forward equipment upgrade. How to reduce customs costs, which import schemes to choose, how to ensure smooth operation of foreign staff in Russia and which tax consequences suppliers of equipment shall take into consideration – these are just some of the questions, which were discussed on this workshop. All equipment needs and any other issues, connected to the cost and efficiency optimisation processes, with the professionals in this field were analysed on conference 2012
