After the start of the war, prices for deliveries from China and Turkey to Russia halved.

Chinese logistics companies halved the prices for container transportation after the outbreak of war. According to Kommersant, in February, delivering a container from China to Russia by the sea cost $ 6 thousand, and in the summer the price rose to $ 11.5 thousand. A similar situation occurred with deliveries from Turkey.

Experts explain the situation with a decrease in competition against the backdrop of the departure of foreign logistics companies and a sharp increase in demand for deliveries from these countries. Retailers warn that the cost of logistics will inevitably affect the final price of goods.

In May it was reported that China, fearing the introduction of American sanctions against him, sharply reduced the supply of high -tech products to Russia. In particular, the import of laptops from China fell in March (compared to February) by 40%, smartphones - by 66%, network equipment - by 98%.

In response to the mass outcome of foreign brands from the Russian market, the authorities legitimized the import of goods into the country bypassing copyright holders. Using parallel imports, they expect to "provide the domestic market in demand and stabilize prices for them." The Insider talked with analysts and business representatives and learned how the mechanism of parallel import is already working (or rather, does not work) in the markets of consumer electronics, clothing and cosmetics.
