Q: Where can I find a list of American companies doing business in
Russia?

A: Because of the significant growth in the number of U.S. companies active in Russia during recent years, as well as the advent of directories published by the private sector, neither the U.S. Consulate General in Vladivostok nor the U.S. Embassy continue to maintain an in-house listing of American companies present in Russia.

U.S. companies/individuals are not obliged to register with the U.S. Consulates or Embassy, although it is welcomed and advised. Persons seeking such listings may wish to consider purchasing the American Chamber of Commerce in Russia's Annual Membership Directory.

A: Commercial specialists from the U.S. Commercial Service at the Embassy in Moscow can advise customers with tariff-related inquiries on specific products. Please contact the U.S. Commercial Service.
